The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.
~~~Vince Lombardi~~

Success is not the triumph over regress,
Success is the power to suppress.
Success is not the money or the fame,
Success is, knowing you are still the same.
Success is not the power or the pride.
Success is the knowing how to hide.
Success is not a gift or gain,
Success is accepting and believing in your name.
Success is not a point or goal to seek,
Success is, believing you have never reached the peak.
Success is

Jeff Rushton

"Gabriel"

Mitchell, hails from the city of Wickliffe a suburb right outside of Cleveland, Ohio. Being the youngest of three Mitchell decided it was time to leave the small close-knit community of Wickliffe to pursue his acting career in 2003.

Mitchell made his first feature film appearance in the 2007 Paramount feature film ZODIAC, starring Jake Gyllenaal and directed by David Fincher. He has continued to excel and grow his career and has guest starred on Cold Case, The Unit, Still Standing, CSI:NY, The OC, the ABC pilot Him & US with Kim Catrall and a recurring role on the hit show CSI and now his latest role in the new web series Soul Fire Rising  as” Gabriel”.

As I sit here thinking about the feeling of being accomplished, and what it takes to get there. I imagine my good friend in the baseball field wings tucked behind his back as he hits the ball out into the open field watching it disappear into the greatness of the sky, never landing. As he reaches each and every base the thought of the distance from whence he came enters his mind. A smile crosses my face in realization yes, indeed my friend you have  made a home run. Continue to excel and do well in all that you dream. I am right behind you….

Mitchell Fink

With his unmistakable, remarkable eyes this angel is one face that will continue to be seen on and off the television screen. For more information and future references on Mitchell’s performances please visit: http://pro.imdb.com/name/nm1697724/ .

Mr. Smith…..Also known as Phoenix steps into the spotlight with a fresh and hip sound unlike any other. Like the bird,  his sound will stop many in their own tracks to listen. He is set for take off to highest flight of flights,  re-birthing and adding fuel to the fire of life. Coming from a single parent household hosted the need to do and be more. Armed with positivity and the vision of setting an example for his younger peers and younger brother he aims at nothing but the target of success!.

Phoenix has always been accustomed to the music world as it all began coming from mom’s living room speakers and into his adolescent years landing him in the studio. Phoenix met Shimmy Shan through a fellow artist signing into a contract with D.T.L.T. Entertainment for a two years (2005-2007). In 1999 Phoenix was a part of a group called Crime Syndicate, who released the album “Luv 4 What I Claim. Deciding to go solo phoenix had begun what is now known as the arrival of the phoenix he has been explosive and non stop ever since. He has recorded four projects which includes the mix-tape “Yardwurk” released in 2007 and hosted by legendary DJ Chicago, and  “Livin-N-Truth”album released  early in 2008.

The Phoenix is never still always soaring,  searching  to land on a better piece of soil, always taking flight moving freely discovering and forever changing… For the time being this bird has found a landing spot (Tampa, Florida)  creating an empire built solely on motivation, determination and the choice to be free and soar around  the world with a bird’s eye view all the greatest things take flight only if you MOVE and be MOVED by the vision that you dream.

The bird has landed and is ready to flight at a moments notice perhaps he may be viewing you with his bird’s eye view and just may take the time to land right next to you….

Modeling again in 2008 and amped with diva power tools stepped it up a notch further and cordinated her first fashion show in August 2008 and continues to carry on her success today.

Building her dream has not been accomplished without the help of the one that supports and shares her dream fiance Dennis Davis together they have built a power team that assist aspiring models in getting their career off the ground giving them the ammunition they need succeed. To give better oppourtunities and as a way to give back they have set dreams aimed for reality for their team knowing, eventually they will become successful entreprenuers themselves!
