He is a native New Yorker and there is not many of them. He was always fascinated with entertainment, music, fashion. He just didn’t know at what capacity he would proceed with that until he went to college- Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland, where he studied Telecommunications with a concentration in public relations – that’s where his love for entertainment increased even more. Upon graduation, he came back home and secured an internship at Marie Claire

magazine in the fashion department. Her boss at that time got a job at Donna Karan and she brought him with her, there he befriended a stylist and his very first project was with pink who was virtually unknown at that time.

The very first artist he remembers styling was Ananda Lewis a former MTV video jockey, he styled Lewis for Time Inc’s Teen People magazine. It was thrilling, he was published in Time Teen’s People which was a big deal back in the day.

He has worked with celebrities from Madonna to Denzel Washington and he is teamed with Amazon for its latest Prime Wardrobe Service.
