I was a bartender at a nightclub in Hollywood. Tilly was the girl next-door in a pole show called the girl next-door. She hit on me first and I had to break the news that I had a girlfriend. Here goes by and I’m single now. I have to go flirt with her only to find out she’s dating a new guy a year goes by and we reconnected in Las Vegas. It have been inseparable since. There’s so much to this story. The universe kept putting her in my path. Just never at the right time or the exact right time.

The first time we went to Burning Man somewhere I never even thought about going until I met Tilly. Biking around from one Art piece to the next since the sunset and I was just looking at each other going. We are definitely coming back. Or maybe when she took me snowboarding in the Niseko, Japan Christmas and New Year’s. Tomorrowland in Belgium with us in Berlin standing in line for a nightclub until 5 AM when we finally got in.

I believe I would use it to celebrate my partner Tilly’s end of life. And start a foundation in her honor to support LGBTQ+ member who struggle with suicide or self hate. We wanted to build a safe space for everyone to feel loved and appreciated. I’d also like to help artist I know steps of chasing their dreams in this city. LA can be tough, and I hope my 22 years of experience can help ease the path of future artists.
