Full bio
I am most energized when I am given something that is broken or inefficient and creating a game plan to turn it into a winner. I believe success is dependent on the people behind the product more than the product itself. My role as a leader is to increase drive and performance by tapping into the power of a higher purpose.
I’ve spent over a decade helping companies successfully navigate the startup stage and propel into the growth/maturity stages. I’m energized by new ideas and am known to have a knack for envisioning “what could be.”
What would my peers say about me?

The Story:
Men hate to shop. When they do have to shop they are plagued with the burden of choice. Which patterns are in style? Which colors are on trend? Which fit is best for me? Straight leg, boot cut, tapered leg, skinny fit, extra trim fit, slim fit, trim fit, modern fit, regular fit, classic fit, traditional fit?
To make things worse, standard sizing rarely offers the ideal fit. Off-the-rack sizing is inconsistent from one brand to the next leading to a frustrating shopping experience. Let's not even go into the parking, crowds, and commute associated with shopping malls.
The only current alternative, when it comes to high fashion, is to go the tailored or bespoke route which the average Joe can't afford.
The Benefits:
8/Omakase members receive a gift experience consisting of 8 curated packages of custom tailored and on trend styles a year. A $2500 value for $300 in quarterly dues.
We delivers powerful first impressions when entering a boardroom and seductive winks when walking across a bar. The proven benefits of tailored clothing ranges from increased self confidence to higher salaries. We make accessible to the masses, what was formerly available to the upper class.
Custom tailored styles, no hassle service, to your door.
The Concept:
8 - 8 curated, custom tailored packages per year

It's for the man who says - "You know what's on trend, you know my tailored measurements, I trust you, make it easy on me, go ahead and dress me."
