If you told me when I was a teen that I would end up being a teacher, I would have said you're out of your mind, because quite frankly I hated school.

I am the anti-trend guy? I don't believe in chasing trends. And before anyone shops, I believe you benefit from doing a closet inventory. Ask yourself what am I wearing, what am I not wearing, and you'll probably discover things you didn't even know you had.

We need to treat each other with consideration. In my world, the squeaky wheel does not get the grease.

When it comes to dressing, comfort is overrated. A little discomfort probably means your clothes fit and they're not pajamas.

I'm constantly reminding myself that the world owes us nothing. We have to make our way and we have to work hard, persevere and make our own way in the world because the world isn't waiting for us, so let's let the world know we are here.

It's so important to reach out to people you trust, and who can give you honest feedback, and keep those people close to you. You don't want to surround yourself with enablers.

Everyone has a best feature, so find clothes and accessories to accentuate those, whether it’s your shoulders or your long legs!
