The best thing about your job is…
The days I can make my own schedule and the creativity that goes with it, arm wrestling with APL (Allan Pineda Lindo, Jr.), to see what Will is going to wear on the red carpet (Yes, we are crazy) and getting to work with new models and actors such as James Preston; who portrays James Dean in the upcoming film and is now also the face of i.am clothing.

Favorite song right now?
“You and I” by Lady Gaga. I play it over and over to the point where my passengers want to jump out of the moving vehicle. Also, Black Eyed Pea’s “Had to do it/ Rock my shit” but it was only released in the UK in the early 2000’s.
