I’m a bonafide southern girl who traded in her cowgirl boots to head north with her hubby. Like north, north! I can almost see Canada from my house. Although I may be without my boots, I now have a closet full of fashionable shoes for pretty much every occasion that doesn’t involve snow. Sincerely, Me is a little gift to myself so that I always remember to be myself, that girl my hubby fell in love with.

Living in Los Angeles, most people probably take one look at me and think I’m a struggling actor. But actually, I work in the filming industry (no surprise there) as part of the lighting crew. But when I’m not working behind the scenes on a set, my girlfriend and I like to investigate the places the job takes us to. Because of my job, I have seen some pretty amazing places and have gotten to experience all four seasons that otherwise, I may never have gotten to being stuck behind a desk. Four Seasons is my tribute to my girlfriend (now fiancé) so that she will always have something to trigger her memories of our time together and many more years to come.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always had a canine companion by my side. It’s the reason I chose to become a K-9 trainer in the military. In my spare time, which isn’t much, I like to spend working on creating jewelry with Chip, my German shepherd, always at my feet. Opulence is the title of my fragrance because no matter where I am in the world, I always feel like the luckiest and wealthiest girl alive when I have Chip by my side.

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.

Denver, Colorado has been my home for the last 17 years. I have my Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy as well as massage therapy. As an Aromatherapist for over 10 years, I have found perfumery has similar benefits. The discovery of Perfumery has literally changed my life. It has given me a way to express myself creatively on a daily basis. My love for bespoke perfumery comes from the therapeutic part of who I am. I want everything I do to be restorative and helpful to others, giving them a place or space to be free to be who they are.
