It has been an amazing first five days at the helm of my own practice.  From Virginia, to DC, and now NYC I am quickly using all of the blood, sweat, and tears I have put into myself in order to make a difference.  I was reminded this past week how even very disparate fields of my work actually have much more in common than I expected.  The seeming lack of commonality between the world of fashion and the world of higher education has yielded to the reality that they have much more in common than I thought. I am thrilled to explore these new opportunities.

I am looking forward to my first speaking engagement since starting my firm, which will be this weekend at Columbia University.  As the Chairman of the Board of Visitors for the University Senate's Student Affairs Committee, I make it a priority to guide and mentor our next generation of leaders at Columbia.  I cherish my position above almost all others that I hold, and I am very excited to have the opportunity to speak with old and new Senators alike.  Furthermore, I could not be more thrilled to move back home to New York City.  While a long process, I truly feel that by starting my practice in both DC and NYC I will be able to have an even greater impact with the work I am doing.

In the first five days I have found myself signing clients, booking speaking engagements, getting the business organized, and already I am thinking about expanding.

The last time I moved to NY was on an Amtrak with a suitcase to "pound the pavement" and find my dream as a model.  This time, I am moving back as an Attorney who has found his dream of being someone who can make a global impact in today's society.
