My Story

It would be nice to say my journey has been a straight path, but the truth is, it’s been a winding road filled with unexpected turns, challenges, and incredible opportunities. And I wouldn’t change a thing.

I’ve been a teacher, a nonprofit leader, a professional vocalist, a consultant, a retail manager, creative director, board member, and an entrepreneur carving out a space in Nashville’s menswear and creative scene. Each of these roles has shaped me, challenged me, and ultimately strengthened my ability to bring ideas to life. Whether leading teams, crafting visual narratives, performing on stage, or building community-driven initiatives, I’ve learned that creativity, strategy, and human connection are at the heart of everything I do.

I co-founded The Commonwealth to create space for meaningful conversations around style, culture, and brotherhood in support of brands dedicated to quality craftsmanship. In that, I’ve had the privilege of partnering with brands such as Longines, Blackstock & Weber, Billy Reid, Soho House Nashville, Buck Mason, and more. Musically, I have lended background vocals for artists like Nelly, Eric Church, The War & Treaty, and Lauren Daigle, blending my love for storytelling and performance. My philanthropy work has led me appointments to boards and councils at The Arts and Business Council of Greater Nashville, the Frist Art Museum, the PENCIL Foundation, Kindling Arts Festival, Nashville Public Radio, and to start a charitable arts foundation with my brothers—because creativity should be a tool for change, not just self-expression.

Academically, I hold a B.S. in International Business from the University of Akron and an M.Ed. in Leadership and Organizational Performance from Vanderbilt University, both of which have shaped my approach to problem-solving, brand strategy, and team leadership. But beyond the degrees and experiences, I’m someone who thrives on collaboration. I’m passionate about big ideas, bold creativity, using my skills to help others shape their visions, and empowering individuals to live their fullest, uninhibited lives.
