I’m a husband, father, grandfather… and retired. I could write several books about the adventures of my life with some of the best chapters still unfolding. My wife, Eva, is the breath in my lungs that keeps me young and going and my children and grandchildren keep me grounded. I enjoy gardening when the weather’s right and my favorite sandwich is made with slices of my homegrown juicy ‘maters. Creating this fragrance with my daughter is something I’m exceptionally proud of as it Echoes the pleasures of my fulfilled life. My next fragrance will be titled Retired.

I’m a small town girl who has gotten really good at listening to her heart and living life to the fullest. I may not travel the world, but I have more wonderful memories made in the backyard during cookouts, or spending lazy days out on the boat with friends and loved ones than most people do jetting off across the globe. Jonesborough is home. Always has been, always will be. Citrus Crush is a fragrance I made that smells like the fresh citrus scent of the oranges I squeezed into my favorite summer drink.

Based on my persona pic, it's pretty easy to see that I'm a lover of magic. Not just pulling rabbits from a hat, but real magic that have people truly perplexed and curious as to how my illusions are manifested. The wonder, the awe… and even the slight hints of fear in my audience’s eyes are what get my heart racing when I perform. Just For Tonight is my own personal creation that holds just as many secrets as I do.

I’m a development professional with expertise in art, education and philanthropy. Currently, I’m an Associate Director of Development for the UC San Diego Rady School of Management focusing on several initiatives as part of UC San Diego’s $2 Billion Campaign supporting the enhancement and improvement of resources for students, faculty, and greater community. Sunkissed by Kate is a gift to myself and those who are busy career women, because every once in a while, it’s okay to take a moment to dig our toes in the sand and enjoy the lull of the tide.

I came from across the pond many years ago with my very own Prince Charming to whom I’ve been married for twenty nine years. I guess that ages me right there! I live on the east coast of the United States in a state that sometimes feels as if I’m in a time warp, shh, it shall not be named. Anyway, this land has given me opportunities that probably would not have been available to me had I remained on far away shores. Perfume, to me, is the essence of a person, be they male or female. We all go through life trying to find our own 'something' and a perfume can give that secret essence we seek. It lifts the spirits to a new high that no one can take away. For me, fragrance is an essential part of my being, just as music takes me to new places, so it is with the beauty and sensuality of a fine fragrance.
