I'm a native South Texan attending TAMIU, a part of the Texas A&M system! Currently a freelance journalist trying to form a trail into more professional matters. I'm by no means a good writer, but sometimes these guys hire me so I guess I'm not half bad? I focus on menswear, but I'm just a little bit of a nerd of the history of everything.

Check out my Etsy shop where I make leather goods! In addition to that, I have a Youtube channel where I talk about all things heritage menswear and budget. Yes, quality menswear can be affordable!
