5. What did you major in at college? Why?
Communications and Philosophy. I love to communicate and I've always questioned why things happen the way they happen. I question things so that I can think off a solution. In business that's a great trait.
6. Where did you go to College? Why?
I went to The Ohio State University. Growing up in Cleveland it's every kids dream. Only 2 hours from home and a known party school. My brother KB also went there. I loved to visit KB (then known as Kevin). KB is 2 years older.
7. What connection business wise do you have to your brother?
KB taught me sales when I was fresh out of college. We went door to door selling pictures of the city of Cleveland mixed with pics of Black culture art and also cartoon pics of Mickey Mouse. Once he taught me the process of the sale, I told my older brother, sit back and watch. I'd go anywhere to make a sale, even the hood! KB and I are 2 of the best sales people you've ever met, believe that. We went office to office hustling pics and making great money for sales people coming up in the game. Eventually we both went corporate with fortune 500 companies. Both of us have always been top sales producers in the corporate world and we've been trained professionally by some pretty big companies.
Today, we do our own things, he has his consulting biz which is more PR related and I do my consulting as a marketing/promotions consultant. I'll refer him a client here and there, it's time for bro man needs to send me a few clients! When I throw the Players Ball, KB helps me hand out passes to the right players and also serves as an MC for the evening of the Players Ball, which he does very well. I bounce all kinds of ideas past KB about the Ball. He usually tells me I hire too many artists and then agrees with me after the party it was the right call.
But to this day, KB will always be greatful to his little brother because I truly brought him into this game. KB was always porn, he always wanted into this biz. I had a 2 year head start and had built a name for myself in that time. He used to beg for me to bring him in, so one day I gave him initiation. I told him if he colored his hair platinum blond, I'd hook him up with a job in adult. Living in pacific beach, that look was in style, but it would look funny on a jew like KB from Cleveland! He did it without hesitation and I hooked him up with Tommy from Bluegravity who floated KB's paycheck for a while. Funny times.
