TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF

“I own a Leadership Development and Training Company and divide my time between Charlotte and Salt Lake City — that is, when I’m not traveling around the world.”

HOW DID YOU FIRST DISCOVER ROBERT GRAHAM

“Back in 2011, I was being photographed and needed a shirt to wear. I bought a Robert Graham one and it was a huge hit. I was hooked. I then graduated up to the Limited Editions. My first was The Great Barrier, number 375 of 1212. I purchased it at the Robert Graham store. At the time, it was located on Bleecker Street in NYC.”

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ROBERT GRAHAM ITEM

“The 25 Limited Edition shirts that I keep listed on my phone alphabetically, including their number. I couldn’t choose just one favorite out of them.”

WHAT ARE YOUR PASSIONS IN LIFE

“I’m a consummate reader. I love learning about people and their cultures. I also love to travel — there’s no better education than getting out into the world and experiencing people first hand.”

WHAT INSPIRES YOU

“I am utterly inspired by grace, beauty, and humility: grace in the way that true forgiveness is given, untethered by conditions. Beauty as only nature can create. Humility expressed in the powerful work of anyone moved by compassion to serve another in need.”
