Since that day, he's been making people laugh for a living. His witty sense of humor, smooth Southern charm, and showmanship are making him one of the brightest young stars on the comedy horizon.
Finesse has had featured roles in several movies including "Who's Your Caddy?", "The Comebacks" and "Mad Money". Being tapped as the "go-to" guy on relationships has landed Finesse numerous roles as a subject matter expert on "The Morning Show With Mike & Juliet", "The TODAY Show", 'The Early Show" and "The Tyra Banks Show".
In addition, he also pen's the popular monthly "Oh Brother!" column in essence magazine. Recently, Finesse was the host and headliner of the 2008 "Just For Laughs" Canadian Comedy Tour and made his debut appearance "The Hour With George Stroumboulopoulos", Canada's #1 late-night talk show.

As a student athlete and brother of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity inc., he fostered his ability to feel comfortable performing in the spotlight including appearances as a popular host and motivational speaker for relationship panels.
They include the 2008 Essence Music Festival, the 2008 Tom Joyner Morning Show Family Reunion and the 2008 Tour of the National "Speaking of Women's Health" Foundation. Last year, Finesse was the recipient of the 4th Annual African-American Literary Award, Best Comedy Book (2008).
