Nice vest. What’s the story behind it?
On a hot summer day, I refuse to wear a suit. I believe wearing a vest is a great alternative to a suit. It adds to a person’s unique style and professionalism.

Do you dress up every day?
No, I do not. I dress up for graduate school and church. Also, for special occasions like my birthday.

Who are your style icons?
Ne-Yo, Kanye West, T.I. and male models in the GQ magazine.
