designer. He has attracted such clients as Donald Trump, Oprah
Winfrey, Uma Thurman, Joan Rivers, Donna Karan, Liza Minnelli,
Matt Lauer, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas, Laurence
Fishburne, Emmitt Smith, and Bill Cosby.
"In addition to his many public speaking
engagements, Preston ’s numerous television appearances include
The Oprah Winfrey Show, Martha Stewart, Entertainment Tonight,

Advisory Board of Modern Bride Magazine.
"In 2005, through a partnership with Sandals Resorts, the
