All five of the finalists were qualified to win the William Malcolm Man of Style 2009 award. This contest was started to highlight the positive community service and humanitarian endeavors of Michigan Men. I believe that a true man of style, is of substance because without substance it’s just vanity. The five finalists all deserved to be here tonight, they were selected out of hundreds to make it to the finals. My goal is to always put philanthropic endeavors and community service programs in the forefront in all that I do. As a fashion designer this is my humble attempt to use my God given gifts and talents to do just that. I pray that I was successful tonight”
