Life has a funny way of throwing unexpected opportunities our way. Some people might stick to one path, but I’ve found myself navigating three. Running two businesses and diving into the world of modeling at 42 years old wasn’t exactly in my life plan, but here I am, loving every minute of this wild ride.

Building Dreams with Tread Well Landscaping

It all started a few decades ago with a simple introduction from a mutual friend. That’s how I found myself in the world of landscaping. Fast forward to today, and I’m co-running Tread Well Landscaping, LLC with a business partner who was looking for someone to help him take the company to the next level. We’ve been working side by side ever since, turning simple yards into breathtaking landscapes.

A New Venture: A&J Commercial Cleaning, LLC

The story of my second business, A&J Commercial Cleaning, LLC, is a bit different. In 2023, one of our landscaping clients asked if we knew anyone who could clean their office space. My business partner, who had a background in state-level cleaning jobs, and I saw the opportunity to expand our entrepreneurial horizons. That’s how A&J Commercial Cleaning was born. We’ve been tackling office spaces with the same dedication and attention to detail that we bring to our landscaping work.

Strutting into a New Career: Modeling at 42

Now, let’s talk about the curveball life threw me in 2022. Out of nowhere, I found myself stepping into the world of modeling. It wasn’t something I ever imagined doing, but when a production needed an extra male model, I decided to give it a shot. Little did I know, that first show would light a fire in me. I fell in love with the runway, the energy, and the creativity that comes with modeling. Since then, I’ve been featured in three magazines—Dynamic X Magazine, Quadro Magazine, and Looplite Magazine—and the journey has been nothing short of incredible.

Sure, there have been ups and downs, but that’s part of the adventure. Whether I’m managing a landscaping project, cleaning a commercial space, or strutting down a runway, I’m constantly learning, growing, and pushing myself to new heights. It’s been a whirlwind, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

So here’s to balancing businesses and breaking into modeling at 42—proof that it’s never too late to start something new and exciting!
