Once there was a boy who loved fashion growing up, but he pursued a different career path because it’s what was expected of him.  After years of going down the corporate road, he finally took a detour toward a path that led to his first love. Then one day, he finally harnessed the strength to turn that passion into a profession, and so far he’s living happily ever after.

As the new Men’s Style Editor of POSHGLAM, allow me to introduce myself.  I’m a certified image consultant, published stylist, and president of DAMstyle, an image and lifestyle consulting firm that helps corporate and private clients achieve their image goals.  I’m excited to be joining the team of talented writers here at POSHGLAM.  Through this editorial medium, I will share my insights and views of the fast-paced world of men’s fashion.  In addition to covering men’s fashion, I will share grooming tips, discuss seasonal style trends, provide product reviews, and spotlight sales, events, and stores of interest to men.

As a former management consultant with 12 years of experience, I will also tackle the topic of image in the workplace.  Image and presentation are critical to any professional’s career progression, regardless of industry.  My observation is that, unfortunately, this is an area where men fall short, more so than women.  Hopefully, through this channel, we can start to make small steps toward correcting this imbalance. 

I am at the beginning of an exciting journey to deliver fresh and exciting content to you, my readers.  My success greatly depends on your input, feedback and willingness to share with friends.  I want your comments, suggestions, questions, and stories. This is going to be a great trip, so sit back, put your tray tables up, buckle your seat belt, and enjoy the ride!

To a happy and safe summer.
