Over the past 5 years I've been returning to the sleepy neighborhood of Red Hook, it has become my second home in the city.
Back in 2015, I was working as a model & I booked my first job at a casting down there. The cobblestone streets and waterside walkways remind me of the days when I'd walk into those unfamiliar rooms with nothing but hope & a little optimism that things would work out alright.
I'm grateful to still be here, wandering around these quiet Red Hook streets, still as optimistic as I was back then. 🙏🏼 Tap to shop my look! @PoloRalphLauren

I’m back in NYC! Just in time for the opening of the new @Belstaff flagship store in the Meatpacking District.
I went down to check out their repair and customization workshop & explore the neighborhood by day and night. I shot my first ever social media campaign in this neighborhood back in 2014, so it’s pretty cool to be able to celebrate the launch of an iconic store there with one of my favorite brands in the world.
Welcome back to NYC, Belstaff! 🙏🏼

I’ve taken a lot of film photos.
I’ve worn a mask. Every day.
I’ve developed much more grey hair.
I’ve discovered lots of new music.
I’ve watched some really great films.
I’ve made some pretty good burgers.
I’ve decided to move to California.
What have you been upto? Hope you’re all staying safe out there. ❤️

New video!
I've been working with the team over at @headandshouldersusa to try out their newest collection of men's styling products. While we were still planning, circumstances changed quickly. So, I thought it would be cool to show you guys how I maintain my styling while indoors.
I really love that the stylers are high performance while still being kind to the scalp. Let me know what you guys think of the video & if you have questions, lemme know!
Stay Home. Stay Safe. Stay Sharp.

It’s been a while, but I’M BACK!
I’m fortunate to have been asked to work on some videos over the past few weeks during lockdown in NYC. My first video for @theartofshaving will be going live soon on their Instagram. It’s a little beard grooming tutorial and yes, it involves this beautiful safety razor. 🙏🏼 Swipe along to see some still images from the video, hopefully you guys enjoy & get some value out of it when it launches.

I’m celebrating St Paddy’s a little differently this year with @bushmillsusa. Yes, that’s Paddy, not Patty. St Patty’s Day sounds like a hamburger 🍔 festival.
If you’re gonna be celebrating, stay home, stay safe and avoid gatherings!
Also, drink an Irish whiskey. There’s no such thing as green beer in Ireland. 🤦🏻♂️ +

Brooklyn mornings.
Spent a couple days roaming around my neighborhood and Greenpoint for the new @primark collection.
I love living in this city. Gluten free bagels! Hahaha. Thanks again to the team at Primark for working with me and helping me keep the American dream alive! 🙏🏼

Video! Look sharp, anywhere!
Thank you, @RemingtonMenUK for making an all-in-one multi-grooming kit that I can take everywhere on my travels. I had tons of fun filming all of these clips & I may have the sharpest facial hair in the game now – thanks for the Graphite Series G5! 🙏🏼
