Born and raised in St. Louis, I lived here for most of my early life, then I realized it was time to get rollin' .. it all started with those great college years in California ... Gotta say I love L.A, would live there for sure some day but still showin' love for the hometown. St. Louis is an amazing city but if I had to recommend a place to see I gotta be honest St. Louis wouldn't make the top 10 and probably not even the top 25; ok now I'm really going to hear it from the hometown crew!! hehe ... All I can say is there is so much to see in the beautiful world and I am so glad I have had the chance to see a part of it all. Who knows how much of it all I'll be able to see as time proceeds.

After high school was all set and done I decided to head over to L.A and study computer science at UCLA and I worked for a firm in L.A for a few years, then in Chicago and St. Louis, after a few years in the industry I got an offer from a company in Saudi Arabia and spent about 16 months there and then about 2 years working in Dubai and Qatar. I came back to St. Louis after that and decided to get into the Import/Export business, which seemed very ideal for me I kinda got tired of all the geeky computer stuff lol, I think it was the laid back working environment in the Middle East that did it to me I just couldn't get back to working hard again putting in all those hours for no good ... well all in all being in this new business I've been able to travel so much and when i have the free time I travel during the holidays and in the summer or any other time I get so I can see the places that business trips never took me to. I love to party and tear it up and get rollin' for a nice vacation and spend the big bucks to enjoy my time cause that's what life is all about.

I just like to live in Luxury, takin' care of my beemers is prime top business and Some people think I am really proud of myself, which is true sometimes but in any case this is me. I am obsessed with how I look and the way I live life, one thing you'll know about me is that I just love the ladies and will do what I can to impress them cause there is nothing better than the joy of a woman. To me life is all about Luxury gotta spend to look good and feel good about yourself ... I feel like I have experienced a lot in my life but I always feel like there is room for more, so who knows where I'll end up but this is who I am for now and I am open to new ways and new ideas, love meeting new people who can respect me for who I am. I am proud of the fact that I have done so much that I said I would and planned to do and yes if you think that makes me cocky well fine sure! But one thing is for certain I feel like the world is filled with jealousy, it's all around us, no matter what some people will always be jealous of you if you're accomplished. That's one of many things I've learned in life!
