Where were you born?
I was born in Memphis, Tennessee until 16 years old. Then lived in Orange County, California. After high school, I was homeless for a spell living up and down the California coast. I landed in San Francisco and no sooner found myself in San Luis Obispo, California for a year. I lived in Utah for four years and now reside in Los Angeles, CA.
In one sentence what is unique about your work?
My approach to any of my work comes from a place of passion, creative risk, and no limitations.
Why do you do what you do?
A never ceasing yearning inside my soul. If I don't give in and feed this creative beast, I ultimately fail at being myself.
What inspires you?
People. Good overcoming evil. Tacos. The ocean. Musicianship. Humility mixed with greatness. Pets who look like their masters.
Describe your personal style.
Quirky humor. Beach bum heart. Relentless spirit. Full of anxiety, yet very relaxed. Ambitious. Hopeful. A fashionably dress surfer.
Your ultimate must-have.
Family nearby.
What superpower would you have and why?
Telekinesis. Because I would be one heck of a skateboarder.
What is next for you?
I have a couple movies coming out soon, and a few film projects I'm hoping to start working on this fall. I'm writing two TV scripts, I'd like to get the funding for and start shooting in 2017. I've been work shopping a novel series I'd like to have more time to write. Also, trying to pump out an album or at the very least more YouTube video of me performing. I've been doing improv at LA's UCB. And continuing to grow my shoe company SoulKix, where every shoe sold we donate to a child in need.
To relax from this crazy schedule, I surf 3 times a week, play basketball once a week, go to the gym 5 times a week, make sure I read from 2 separate books every day, and in December I'm getting married to the love of my life.

In one sentence what is unique about your work?
I have a background in finance and working on Wall Street, a decade of art advisory expertise and promoting and exhibiting emerging artists, and six year experience selling residential real estate in New York.
Why do you do what you do?
My clients challenge me to find real estate and art that suits their lifestyle, for both an investment and aesthetic reasons. I am blessed to work with clients who typically share a mutual appreciation of art and real estate with a strong interest in design. New clients who have a desire to start an art collection are also able to leverage my experience as an art advisor and curator to add a creative edge to their home. The mix between art and design is unique to the world of those in the real estate world. Not many agents can say they are also an art advisor and have a trained eye for design. I do.
What inspires you?
Artists inspire me every day. Thinking outside of the box lends a unique creative focus motivating me to consistently come up with fresh ideas to sell or buy art and real estate. The creative and entrepreneurial influence of artists also encourages me to stay connected to leaders of change in the worlds of art and real estate.

An artistic preppy style with a downtown, yet classic edge.

My iPhone 7, a backup charger and a Starbucks.
