We met at work over ten years ago, but it feels like we've been friends forever! She's been in my corner and always there when I need her for a laugh, reality check, quick trip, quick bite, or quick cry. We share some of the same affections for naps, sarcasm, and self-care... but she can keep the Moscato (lol). I'm eternally grateful for everything you've done and stood for. Thanks for being a pillar in my village. I couldn't imagine the day without you at my side!
When I moved to Delaware in 2017, Ashley was the first friend I made. We spent more time running back and forth to Philly every weekend (and some weekdays) because it was just more fun. Ashley is fun-loving, kind, honest, silly, confident, and intelligent. She's been a constant source of inspiration to me because she always wants more: more travel, more love, more leisure, more from life and the best for her family and friends. Although she's constantly growing, I'm proud of who she is today although there's so many blessings ahead. I'm happy to have her as my friend and unofficially a sister. :) Cheers!
Fun Fact: Ashley is a licensed realtor in Delaware if anyone is looking!
Jeff is my older cousin from New York. Currently lives in Atlanta with his wife and Kids. He was my very first roommate in the City of Philadelphia. Jeff is fearless and daring. If it weren't for that one phone call back in '99, I can't say where I'd be today. That conversation triggered a series of peaks and valleys for us both but shaped our futures professionally and personally for the better. I am honored and thankful to have him at my side as my best man.
Reemo aka, Atlas is my oldest brother. I remember being excited whenever Kareem came home to visit from college. Taking his bags and luggage out of the vehicle felt like an honor (LOL). He was the first to make me an uncle and taught me many things that I still carry today: assertiveness, the importance of timeliness, and being direct is the best way to approach and get through any situation. Love you, bro!
Jay Brown is another one of my older cousins. Jason is like my own personal prophet, an old wise man that provides great counsel in many ways and throughout much of my life. He's always been like another (MUCH) older brother, especially around the time when my brothers went off to college. Jay has always been incredibly supportive and encouraging in my business ventures and life choices. I'm comforted to see him at my side today of all days.
Jay Plumms has been my dawg since we were about six years old. He's super creative and a glass-half-full type of guy. Any problems that tried to get in our way on vacations, countless road trips, or with the ladies, an "easy" fix was just on the horizon. Nothing could ever stop us and never will. I'm honored to have you as a friend still and now my groomsman.
Shaun is one of my greatest and longest friendships. From childhood, through high school, college days, and thereafter, he's been at my side for every moment. We've had some amazing and lavish times and, of course, many rough and tough times surviving in the streets of Philly as young men. When the heat was around the corner, Shaun never wavered and stood at my side for whatever was to come. He's always had a way of keeping himself and those around him centered and calm in the face of the worst adversities. I'm grateful for this lifelong bond and I look forward to sharing this same energy as you witness my commitment to the next.
