What makes your style stand out?

My style stands out because it is intentional from the moment I walk in. I favor tailored paternalism- a sharp suit and polished wingtips. So my fit and finish are always on point. I am confident with color, paring bold tones with classic pieces, and my attention to detail shows in the crisp shirt, clean lines, quality fabric, refined watch, and immaculate shoes. My look will always be unmistakably me.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment is stepping onto a stage to deliver a keynote on professional dress and feeling the room pause for a beat. I’m in a perfectly tailored suit with a confident hint of color, a crisp white shirt, a pocket square, and polished wingtips catching the light. It is professional, bold, and unmistakably me. The first impression lands before I even say a word, and the look sets the tone for everything that follows.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, I would put every dollar to work growing Iron Sharpens Iron Mentoring and giving back to the youth in our community. As Director of this company, I see the need to mentor and to provide mentors to schools in the area. There is a great need for youth workshops on various topics from mental health and conflict resolution. I would be able to provide scholarships to students going to college. My wish is to gift suits to 15-20 young graduates each year. We all can do something.
