How’d your passion for menswear start?

My passion for menswear started at a very young age.  I appreciate my mother and sister who thankfully raised and dressed me well.  From a very young age, I was wearing suits, suspenders, bow ties, and so on.  I grew more into my own style as I got older and my outfits became more creative.  And as the saying goes, the rest is history…  But in my case, I can only see it getting better!

What are your goals as an influencer?

One of my goals is to show others that there are so many different ways to combine colors and patterns, all while looking dapper still.  There are many “do’s and dont’s ” to fashion but when you get them all lined up right, you might surprise yourself and find a combination that looks fire!  As for another goal, I simply want to be an outlet of inspiration.  You never know when your outfit might trigger someone else to potentially try something they never thought of doing!

Describe your outfit.

Let’s see… How would I describe my outfit?  Trendy nerd?  When I was a kid, I was often called a nerd or geek but hey, those things are in nowadays, right?  That’s why I love this Nintendo controller tie!   I grew up playing hours of video games (Original NES) and when I saw this tie, I had to have it!

Describe your personal style.

People always tell me how they love my style, the way I dress, the outfits I wear, and how I always look so dapper.  Unfortunately, they never tell me what my style is called….  If I had to try and describe it though, I would say that I definitely love colors that pop.  Pulling off bold patterns and combinations is also another one of my specialty’s!  Trust me, not everyone can do it!  But if you can, I say go for it!

Random fun fact about you.

My all time favorite movie is The Italian Job.  I loved it so much that I bought a fully loaded Mini Cooper S!  Unfortunately, I don’t have one anymore but I still love them.  At some point in my life, I would like to own one again.  My dream is to own a classic Mini, right hand drive!
