When the student is ready the teacher appears.
June 2023 I was working at a mini golf spot (s/o swingers W29th) barely making ends meet and Iād see hundreds of people every night. I energetically greeted everyone I met āWELCOME TO HOLE 9ā because I knew Iād meet someone that would change my Life.
Sure enough, Rob Suh walked in with a few friends and said āHey kid, i like your Energy.ā He told me he owned a Menswear Store in Midtown and to come in for an interview.
2.5 years later, I am the lead custom made to measure suit/tuxedo designer at Robbie and Co. on Fashion Ave in NYC and have made $71,740 in custom suits in the last 5 months.
He took me under his wing, taught me (even though im hard headed at times), gave me a way to support myself and even invited me to celebrate Holidays with his family when I had no where to go. He gave me the initial investment to make my Life long Dream of hosting my 1st Art Show in New York City come true.
Since we met Iāve gone from āA boy with a Dreamā to āa man with a family on the way who Is LIVIN ITā I Love you man, Thanks for Everything. @robsuh@mrrobbiesuits
Life update: Moved to Upstate New York, welcoming my first child in a month (#girldad) and breaking the mold to feed my family from my Art. ā Building the Dream and L!ViN it.

ELECTR!CITY PERSONIF!ED: We all have pivotal moments in Life where we are faced with a choice that will define our character. Once we choose, we can never go back and even if we never decide, that is our choice. Amplify LIGHT.
My realization of that is what inspired this piece. Happy this found a home to reflect positivity in for eternity.
Timelessly, #LIVINTHEDREAM

Remember when you were 6 years old running down the side walk and in the front yard with grass stains on your jeans and bikes on the ground without a kick stand wondering what it would be like to be a āBig Kidā?
You are that now. You get to Live that now for everything that its worth and āthe unknownā to that child was like a secret to winning the Game.
If the unknown scares you now its because you found out there was more than you originally thought: Good, bad, the ugly, The Amazing.
Dont forget that kid. Dont forget you are *still* that Kid. Before you close your eyes laying in bed at night, staring at your ceiling fan and making shapes and faces out of the stucco above you, remember:
YOURE THAT KID THAT WANTED TO MAKE IT BETTER THAN YOU HAD IT. YOU SAID YOUāD NEVER BE LIKE THE MEAN ADULTS WHO āDONT GET ITā
DO YOU GET IT NOW? Or are you out of touch? āLife was different back then.ā
No it wasnt. You may have more responsibilities now but dont forget that you can make it that simple.
There are more variables now, of course. But that Pure joy and Purpose still exists inside of you no matter what youāve been through even if itās somewhere deep down. Dont be scared of it.
Smile in that open crowd. Walk into the group of people you dont know and introduce yourself to one person you feel connected with then say hello to the rest of them.
If thereās nothing to say, then stay silent. If you feel a joke, tell it and if no one laughs, you still can. Iām proud of you, kid. Love you to the moon and back.
Weāre Livin the Dream baby and DONT FORGET IT. HAā¦Amazing in the Making to AMAZING MADE. HAVE AN AMAZING DAY TO REMEMBER AND LOVE IT. GO ahead. See you there.
