Maverick...

  
A Maverick is defined in Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary as: an independent individual who does not go along with a group or party. Today I will launch a new blog segment titled, "First Street Style Maverick." This segment will feature individuals who epitomize style. The criteria will be simple... the individual must possess an alluring style that exudes the First Street mantra: "Life is good, but living is better!"


These individuals inspire us here at First Street on a multitude of levels, and it is my desire that you too will be inspired as well. We will simply post the images and let them speak. To launch the segment... Andre Benjamin, a true maverick.
