How do you balance your rising career with your personal life? There’s no 50/50 rule. I must give attention to each so both can grow. I pivoted to retail real estate because it enables me to blend my personal interests with my career goals. My work and personal life benefit from my love for restaurants, exercise, and shopping.

Beyond your professional achievements, what are some of your passions or hobbies? I’m an amateur sneaker collector, and I’ve loved them since I was a kid. This sparked my passion for fashion and culture. I fell in love with a fashion designer. My wife designs denim. I’m still trying to convince her to design denim sneakers.
