The day before I started working at @theindustryla@erinlucas_theindustry asked me, what are your goals? Without skipping a beat, I said I wanted to be able to walk into the mall and see my bookings all over it. 8 months later and I could not be prouder to force @clubjuliun to be my personal photographer all over the Glendale Galleria. Such a pinch me moment for this little boy from the cattle farm.
@erinlucas_theindustry thank you for truly seeing me and empowering me at every turn. You and the entire team @theindustryla@theindustryny@theindustrymiami have reminded me why I love and obsess over this job.
And of course I would be nowhere without all of our incredible models!! @parisbishop__@justleiza@giizeleoliveira@chanel_stewart@m.a.rley I love and respect each and every one of you so much!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Dear Juliun,
Every year I manically post on your birthday, to me it’s one of the best days of the year because it’s the day the world gave me you.
This year feels different, watching the person you love most lose a parent in the most painful way changes everything. But strangely, even through this excruciating process of grief and loss, you still remain undeniably yourself. You are still the most generous person I know with your time, your energy, and your love. You continue to be there for me and your friends in all the moments where we need you. We will always need you, our bright shining light who is the best listener and always knows how to put a mirror up to someone and show them how loved they really are.
I don’t know what to say this year besides I love you. And I’m the luckiest fucking guy on the planet for getting to spend the rest of my life with you. This world is so scary but I forget all about that when you hold my hand.
Davin, we miss you so much, and your family’s love for you has continued to grow even bigger since we lost you.
Happy birthday baby I love you @clubjuliun ❤️
Excited to share I’ve joined the team at the Industry Model Management Los Angeles as a Senior Manager. Can’t wait for what’s ahead! @theindustryla
Huge thank you to @erinlucas_theindustry ❤️
On September 8th, 2025, I lost my father-in-law. Most importantly, the love of my life lost his father.
Davin was the type of person that everyone could be themselves around. I could be honest with him about who I was, where I’d been, and what I was going through from the first day I met him. Everyone in Davin’s path knew that feeling of true acceptance that only he could provide.
I am so grateful for all of the memories I got to share with Davin, from camping on Catalina Island to one of the best weekends of my life—Davin made the trip to St. Louis where he immediately hit it off with my own parents.
Anyone who’s spoken to me for more than a minute knows how I feel about my favorite person, my partner, Juliun. To watch someone you love so deeply lose the person that helped make them who they are has been the most painful experience of my life. I encourage everyone reading this to rally around Juliun and lift him up the way he is constantly lifting up those around him. It’s our turn to be that light for him.
We lost Davin to a completely unexpected suicide. While recovering from surgery, he was prescribed a medication with side effects of suicidal thoughts / depression and tragically these side effects took hold of him.
If you or any loved one is struggling with the challenges of life, please reach out to the 988 Lifeline.

Sometimes you have to sit back and pinch yourself - dream booking, dream models, dreamy city.
Thank you so much @dmcasting@moncler@edward_enninful and most of all @noelle_doukas@storm_la for trusting me and letting my creativity run wild!!! ❤️
