Movement. Expression. Intention. These have been the foundation of my life since I first twirled in front of a camera as a toddler, urging my mom to focus the lens on me. At three years old, I found freedom in dance; a world where lines weren’t just physical but emotional, where every movement told a story. Dance demanded discipline, artistry, and a fearless commitment to the details. It taught me that creating something beautiful requires full presence; mind, body, and soul working as one.
That understanding has shaped everything I do. As a floral artist and flower farmer, I see the parallels between movement and design. Just as a dancer shapes space with intention, I create compositions with blooms, balancing structure and flow, tension and release. The way a flower leans, the way colors interact, the rhythm of nature itself; it’s all choreography.
Boldness isn’t about the absence of fear; it’s about stepping fully into the work, embracing the process, and leading with emotion. Whether I’m cultivating a garden, designing an arrangement, or pushing myself through the strength and stamina of running, weightlifting, yoga, or Pilates, I move with purpose. I create with intention. I live all in.
That’s what makes me bold.


Flowers completely changed the trajectory of my life.
For over a decade, I built a career in shipbuilding for our armed forces, dedicating myself to climbing the corporate ladder. I worked tirelessly, believing success was waiting at the top, only to arrive and realize I felt unfulfilled. The rigid structure of that world left little room for creativity, for movement, for the kind of beauty that has always been essential to who I am.
Aesthetics shape everything around me; my home, my garden, my work, my life. I found my way back to that truth when I discovered flower farming in 2020 and haven’t looked back since. What began as curiosity quickly became purpose. My wife, TerriLynn, and I now own and operate Haven Flower Farm, a micro flower farm just outside of New Orleans, LA. Here, I am not just a farmer; I am a creator, a floral artist, a storyteller. Dreaming up a space, cultivating a garden, harvesting flowers, and transforming them into something meaningful is the purest expression of full-circle artistry.
When Haven first took root, we did it all; weddings, events, retail sales, and farmer’s markets. Our local community embraced our farm-grown flowers, eager to bring a piece of our fields into their homes. Today, Haven Flower Farm remains a thriving part of our business, serving our immediate community with seasonal, locally grown blooms. It is our foundation, our roots, and a reflection of our belief that beauty should be intentional, sustainable, and deeply connected to the land. During our growing season of March through November, we use our farm grown flowers to embellish with in our wedding design work. Those stems really do bring a different level to our designs.
As our vision for floral design evolved, so did our business. While Haven continues to flourish, we created RGA Floral Atelier as an artistic extension of our work; an elevated brand that aligns us with our dream wedding and event clients. Through RGA, we push the boundaries of floral artistry, designing immersive, high-fashion floral experiences that tell a story of romance, movement, and refined aesthetics.
Haven was my escape, my sanctuary, my return to freedom. It reminded me that life isn’t about the relentless chase; it’s about creation, intention, and moving with the rhythm of something greater than myself. Today, that rhythm guides both Haven Flower Farm and RGA Floral Atelier, two expressions of the same vision: a life built around beauty, artistry, movement, and purpose.
