This man is a fraud and a scam artist. I hired him for a metal project for my interior design business. I am wary of using new vendors so I had him send me works samples, they checked out, I also had a visit to his "studio", it also checked out. So I paid him the deposit and was excited to get started. But things really changed after he received the money. My calls started to go unanswered, he began only communicating via text, if anything, usually having some sort of excuse of why the door would not be ready. It has been months later and I still have not receive the product for my project. I went to his "studio" which he no longer works in because he stopped paying the owner rent. As I look into him more in dealing with my lawyer, I am learning that he has done this same thing to numerous other people. He has taken thousands of dollars from myself as well as a lot of people. Please beware of this man. He is not who he says he is.
