I've done a lot of business deals, helped a lot of artists make their way through this industry, given a lot of free advice and fought for those who needed defending. I believe in integrity and honor and love helping those with similar values succeed. I'm not chasing the dollars, I'm chasing doing the right thing. I've always been blessed and I have enough shoes and purses to show God does provide.

When faced with a challenge, I have the bad habit of always accepting. So the climb to Mount Everest Bas Station was one of those. It was the hardest thing physically I have ever had to do but it was a gret spiritual experience that taught me many things. Never quit. Nomatter how hard things get, even when it feels like you can't take one more breath. You can surprise yourself.
