I’m an entrepreneur, sneaker enthusiast, designer, and proud Rochester native with a passion for using creativity and business to make a positive impact on the city I love. I’m the owner of Flower City Kicks, a Rochester-based sneaker store where I connect people with new and pre-owned sneakers from some of the most recognized and loved brands and collections, including Jordans, Nike Air Max, and other popular styles. My creativity goes beyond sneakers—I also design my own shirts and enjoy creating products that represent culture, individuality, and the spirit of Rochester. For me, Flower City Kicks is about more than selling sneakers and apparel; it’s about building a brand that people can connect with and creating something that contributes to the community around me. I’m passionate about Rochester, its people, and its potential, and I want the work I do to leave a positive footprint on the city that helped shape who I am.
