I am but a small town boy, born and raised in a small blue collar town in Northern WI. My mother a local of said small town, and my father a foreign exchange student from Nigeria made quiet the headlines. First interracial couple!!! This was the late 70's early 1980's after all. ;)

We started jet-setting from WI, to West Africa and the UK before my 1st birthday, I blame my parents (the best kind of blame) for opening my eyes to all there truely is to learn and see in this great big world.

With all of the foriegn cultures and I was exposed to at such a young age, the one thing that stuck out was the colors, shapes, textures and beauty all around. You didn't have to speak the same langauge as everyone else to get a feel for who they were by the way they not only styled their bodies with clothing, accessories, hair and makeup. But how they styled themselves. I naturally fell in love with beauty and fashion , culture and art and set out to make those passions my life.
