After serving in the United States Marines, I pursued a career with the FBI, working in private and corporate security while training with Saint Louis County PD. However, I soon realized my passion lay elsewhere—helping men refine their style and confidence.
In 2019, the pandemic led me to a personal transformation, shedding 50+ lbs and recognizing the struggles many men faced. This ignited my mission to go beyond fashion, helping men reclaim their inner fire. By 2021, my styling videos under “Taikyokills” caught the attention of celebrities like Tyler, The Creator, launching my career in high-profile fashion.
Since 2023, I’ve expanded beyond styling, guiding over 100 male clients in fashion and professional development, helping them look, feel, and perform at their best.
