Known as "America's Living Artist Couple" on eBay, Duane and Phet Cash have sold over 1000 works of original paintings through through their online store and have been approached on occasion by several respected art collectors and gallery owners. Although the couple has no gallery representation in the United States currently, they are open to expanding this type of interest in their art.

The 2004 Businessman of the Year Award is presented by Business Advisory Council, who will also be hosting a March Dinner with special guest President George W. Bush.

About the current award, Duane Cash has stated "I am grateful to be able to receive such an award, and I give first thanks to God and my faith in Jesus Christ for the honor."

Duane Cash, also a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, indicated that he expresses a marvelous love for his Savior, Jesus Christ, a thankfulness for knowing the truth of Book of Mormon, the Bible, and a great love for knowing that he has guidance from a modern-day Prophet, Gordon B. Hinckley. Duane Cash is member of the Chelwood Ward in east Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Duane Cash, a graduate of the University of New Mexico, with a B.A. in English, hopes to continue expanding his art business, and has hopes that enough of the puzzles in the Duane Cash Cube will sell that they will be one day mass-produced and sold in toy stores and other retail outlets such as Wal-Mart. "It all depends on how many people buy the puzzles," says Duane Cash. "If thousands of people people bought just one, then that would be great. Then I would be able to focus more on my art sales."
