The Tilted Speakeasy

Looking forward to The Tilted Speakeasy's event supporting charity: water tonight!  A "pop-up" speakeasy with a sick DJ that supports a good cause?  I'm in.  Cheers!

Give Us The Wind

Spent the afternoon photographing and gallery hopping in my neighborhood (west Chelsea).  It's kind of hysterical that when you ask the universe for a 'sign', this is what it gives you...

Have a great Friday night, people!

Eye Of The Champion

Happy Monday!  Hope you guys had a great weekend.  I spent mine with old friends at old favorite haunts.  Now I'm hitting the gym hard in preparation for a HUGE work week... Hopefully bringing you good news soon.  Cheers.

I have turned into someone who takes pictures of their food.  Pylos, Friday night.

Screen Shots

Hey guys!  I thought I'd add some screen shots from upcoming projects... Enjoy!

Edward Cullen?

These Nights

Yup, I'm posting a #selfie.  Enjoying a sunset walk tonight on my way to dinner at Fedora in the West Village, followed by a night out dancing with friends.  Spring may not officially be here, but I'm ready!

West Side Highway #sunset walk

...and my view!  Bring on the night.

Digging my...

...brown leather Gucci shoes.  How dope are they?

East Coast Bound

Homeward bound!  Back to the cold for me...where life can resume to normal (which is never so 'normal' for me).  Who are you voting for during tonight's Oscars?  

Wearing two of my favorite go-to articles of clothing:  one of my Vince linen sweaters and my lucky hat by Publish.

California, I Love You.

Hey guys!  Sorry it's been a while since updating.  I've been in California for work and fun, and have been super busy.  Here are a few pictures from one of my adventures in San Diego to hold you over... I promise to get back to a regular posting schedule soon!  Enjoy.

Catching Up

Heading to LA on Wednesday for work and play, stay tuned...

Check out a teaser shot from the short film 'Love Expired', in which I play an alcoholic, coming soon. 

Front Row @ Lie Sang Bong. #NYFW

Fashion week is almost over!  Here are some photos from Lie Sang Bong's amazing show yesterday.  It never hurts to be sitting front row, either.

New York Fashion Week Preview

Enjoy!

Fitness Freak

Life is all about growth (physical, mental, spiritual) and change, and being fit is a key ingredient.  I'm always looking for a new workout, and I've been finding comfort in pushing myself out of my comfort zone in Equinox's TRX Class.  It helps when you have an instructor like Nyree Brown (http://nyreesbodies.com) pushing you to the brink!
