Stocked and Loaded

Jeir, Creative Director

What special talent do you have? I’m pretty average, so I don’t think I have any sort of special talent. But back in the day, I was in a hip-hop dance team that competed nationally. (Narrator: Jeir is far from average.)

Who was your childhood hero? Michael Jordan. I wished I could be a baller, but I never got taller.
