Born and raised in the small town of Thonotosassa outside of Tampa, Wade was inspired by beauty from his mother and grandmother from an early age. Both role models never left the house without lipstick. In 2003, he moved to NYC to pursue a career in the beauty industry with MAC Cosmetics. He spent 2 years of hands on training by some of the best, and built life long friendships with them. Back in Tampa, he continued to work for MAC until 2010 when he began a new chapter working for HSN. There, he was introduced to live TV, print shoots, commercials, and celebrities. During this time, he also worked for the Tampa Bay Buccaneer Cheerleaders on location for photo shoots and live NFL games. Wade continues to work in Tampa as a freelance artist. Weddings and personal clients are the time when he gets to connect with individuals on a personal level. The goal is to leave knowing the client feels beautiful and confident.
