OUR CONTENT CAN OFTEN LEAN HEAVILY ON THE FEMALE SIDE, BUT THIS MONTH WE TURN OUR ATTENTION TO THE MEN—AND WE HAD A BLAST WITH THEM! From health, to cars, to food and more—we found local men from all industries to share their expertise and wisdom.

We had fun with Joe Bae, owner of Joe Bae Salon, with his dapper models showcasing the latest hair trends. We also met with Mike Mutzel, nutritionist and author, to learn why his motto is “Health is wealth.” For a masculine spin on food and wine pairings, we asked for advice from Nelson Dequip, the award-winning sommelier and director of wine and spirits at Canlis. And one my favorite shoots to date: classic cars with model and friend Gene Twedt. I wish we could have showcased the entire gorgeous car collection these models belong to, but we narrowed it down to our favorite three that embodied a classic summertime feel.

Our “Men on the Move” feature highlights men from different industries who

DISCOVER YOUR IDEAL STYLE WITH SUGGESTIONS FROM JOE BAE SALON

Brandon

HAIRCUT: Natural Pompadour HAIR TYPE: Medium to thicker density, medium to coarse texture HAIR LENGTH: Short to medium STYLE/WHAT TO ASK FOR: Shape your hair into whichever direction you want it to go.

Texture spray is helpful to add grit to the style. Make sure to dry it fully before adding any hold products. Spread holding paste thoroughly onto the palms of your hands and start from the back into the “guts” of your hair. Have the barber leave enough length for you to style it back or to a specific side. If you choose to go with a side sweep, you might want to ask for the side that has to reach the farthest to be left a little longer.

Modern Classic Combover Sean NAME OF HAIRCUT: Modern Classic Combover HAIR TYPE: Medium to thicker density. Any texture HAIR LENGTH: Short to medium STYLE/WHAT TO ASK FOR: Using a blow dryer, make sure to separate the part line from the top directing the nozzle down to the side of the part and up for the top of the part. The top can be styled using a brush while drying to scoop up on the hair toward the side. The sides can be faded/tapered to any length for this style. The top should stay long enough to push it over to a combover style. Whatever side the part is on, the top should be slightly longer on

Chris HAIRCUT: Controlled Chaos HAIR TYPE: All types HAIR LENGTH: Short STYLE/WHAT TO ASK FOR: This style is more of a connected look throughout the sides, so make sure to ask to blend the sides into the top. A brush is not needed for this, but using a blow dryer to lift the hair up and back will add some volume. Spread holding paste onto your palms as well as your fingers. Ask to leave the top a little longer so there is something to work with.

FIVE LOCAL LEADERS SHARE THEIR MOST VALUABLE LIFE LESSONS

Men onthe Move

ARTICLE LISA SCHREINER PHOTOGRAPHY JAY HENDRICKSON

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN YOUR LINE OF WORK? Officially, one year. Our first location in Washington opened in March of this year.

WHAT IS ONE MAJOR LIFE LESSON YOU HAVE LEARNED AND WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH OTHER MEN? Scott: Get your PSA tested early. Know your family history with health.

Taryn: Self-reliance. Your skills are transferrable.

You have relevant life experience that can transfer into any situation. You just have to dig for it.

words to live by Scott: “Live for today, plan for tomorrow and never give up.”

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE PHILOSOPHY, AND HOW WAS IT DEVELOPED? Scott: Work hard and play hard. My family has always taught me to put my all into everything I'm doing.

Taryn: Enjoy what you do, and surround yourself with people you want to see succeed and vice versa. Life is too short to settle for anything less.

Taryn: “If there’s a fork in the road, take it.”

WHAT INSPIRES YOU? Scott: The creativity and ingenuity of the people I work with every day. I'm surrounded by so many diverse skill sets, and it's incredible to work alongside them and

see how they solve challenges and grow over time.

Taryn: Perseverance. Seeing how people recover personally or professionally from a bad situation and turn it into success.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN YOUR LINE OF WORK?

Andy Lakha

I got my start in commercial real estate in the '90s as the owner and operator of corner convenience stores, gas stations and car washes. From there, I began developing my own properties, progressing to bigger and more complex projects as time went on, but it has all lead up to the project I’m working on now, which is by far the most important project of my life: Avenue Bellevue, a luxury condo, hotel and

CEO a n d Pr in cipa l , For t r es s D e v elo pm en t

retail project planned for the heart of downtown Bellevue.

WHAT IS ONE MAJOR LIFE LESSON YOU HAVE LEARNED AND WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH OTHER MEN? I came to the United States from Pakistan at age 17 with little money to my name. It wasn’t an easy journey, but it was my perseverance and commitment to excellence that got me to where I am today. I would encourage other men to set big goals and not be afraid of obstacles. If you have a strong intention and passion for something, the rest will follow.

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE PHILOSOPHY, AND HOW WAS IT DEVELOPED? To me, life is all about relationships—with friends, family, yourself, your environment. The relationships I’ve built throughout my life and career have been the foundation for my success.

WHAT INSPIRES YOU? Exceptional places and events inspire me greatly. I travel quite frequently and, as a developer, naturally I am fascinated with the architecture in every city I visit. I also love being a part of spectacular events, whether it’s a major sporting event, an awards show or an audience with one of my heroes. Being a part of these once-in-a-lifetime moments is really energizing and inspirational to me.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR COMMUNITY IN BELLEVUE? WHAT SETS IT APART? In my opinion, Bellevue is one of the best places to live in the United States. It offers a very high quality of life. I love the balance between nature and the urban city center. I love the people and the culture here. I am so proud to be building Avenue in this city that I have called home for nearly 20 years.

words to live by “Life is relationships, and the best form of relationship is friendship.”

words to live by “Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.”

SeattleRegen.com and @seattleregen

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN YOUR LINE OF WORK? Since 2001.

WHAT IS ONE MAJOR LIFE LESSON YOU HAVE LEARNED AND WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH OTHER MEN? Never forget what your role is as a man, a husband and a father. Be a provider, not a taker. Don't have a fragile ego, and don't be envious of others’ success; celebrate it with them.

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE PHILOSOPHY, AND HOW WAS IT DEVELOPED? Life is a grind, and you can't cheat that grind. In order to succeed, you have to embrace and thrive off hard work. You have to push yourself into uncomfortable situations to grow as a person.

WHAT INSPIRES YOU? My family. They are grinders, and it helps motivate me to be the same.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR COMMUNITY IN BELLEVUE? WHAT SETS IT APART? Bellevue is a beautiful place, for one. The water, the trees, the views—it is hard not to like that. We have children in the public school system, and the whole vibe is about striving for excellence in everything. There are resources for the kids in every aspect of their development—the fine arts, academics, athletics, trades; you name it, there are people in the schools eager to help kids achieve their potential. I think this foundational notion of achievement is what sets Bellevue apart from a lot of other communities.

DRIVER’S NOTEBOOK

(CON TI N U ED)

This 1957 Corvette is one of four made in the arctic blue over silver exterior with the orange/red interior color scheme and was the first fuel-injected auto delivered to the West Coast. In addition, this vehicle was also the very first American car to have 283 horsepower with a 283-cubic-inch engine. The three-speed manual has an all fiberglass body, with all original matching number parts. When delivered to the Chevrolet dealership in Renton, Washington, it was so newsworthy that an article was written about the vehicle for the local newspaper. The original owner raced the car on the local circuit and was featured at the Le May Auto Museum in a retrospective show of Corvettes.

SOMMELIER NELSON DEQUIP GIVES THE FELLAS A TASTE

WINE + FOOD FOR THE DUDES

ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY ELIZABETH PODLESNIK

44

Bellevue Lifestyle | June 2019

AS THE DIRECTOR OF WINE AND SPIRITS FOR CANLIS, NELSON DEQUIP DOESN’T TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WINE AND FOOD LIGHTLY. He dives into the heart and soul of each dish, creating an intricate pairing through similarities in their regions and, of course, their flavors. With several hard-earned accolades to his name—think a James Beard Award and world-class wine cellar—connoisseur Nelson brings an inviting demeanor and a passionate voice to the table while striving to make Canlis one of the best wine and spirits programs in the world. Together, both he and executive chef Brady Williams bring a fresh, masculine perspective to the 70-yearold restaurant through four food and wine pairings that are sure to have the gents setting aside their beers for a change.

1 A TASTE OF THE VALLEY

Roasted pork with green garlic, preserved lemon and Hakurei turnips 2015 B. Leighton "Gratitude," Olsen Brothers Vineyard, Mourvedre blend, Yakima Valley, Washington Mourvedre is a blending grape commonly found in the warm Southern Rhône Valley in France and is the dense backbone for wines from Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Nelson says. The 2015 blend is 70 percent mourvedre, 25 percent grenache and 5 percent syrah and can be found in our backyard of warm and sunny Yakima Valley. Its dark fruit components, earthy and smoky notes and long, gritty finishes on the palate make it a perfect pairing to the roasted pork. Chef Williams cooks the center-cut, bone-in loin slowly to perfection over applewood leaving it moist and flavorful. He finishes the dish with green garlic, hazelnut puree and savory pork jus, resulting in pure magic on a plate.

A TASTE OF THE SEA Baywater Sweet Oysters

Robert Moncuit, Brut Blanc de Blancs NV, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Champagne, France A lively and energetic bubbly to start never hurts especially when paired with a sweet and salty perennial favorite. The blanc de blancs sits at the heart of the Côte des Blancs and comes from a fourth-generation husband and wife team obsessed with acidity and minerality, Nelson says.

The pairing of the Hood Canal oysters and French Champagne feels natural as each echoes the flavors and characters of one another; they are lovely and pure like a golden apple and reflect similar briny and rich seawater notes. A pulsating and salivating first course.

3 A TASTE OF ADVENTURE Duck lacquered with malt syrup

2016 Thierry Germain Terres Chaudes, Saumur Champigny, Loire Valley, France A toast to finesse and funk, the 2016 Thierry Germain Terres Chaudes is as expressive as it comes. Grown in a cool climate, cabernet franc reveals an earthy, peppery, herbal side with a rustic, edgy tartness. When roasting a whole duck, it gives you the opportunity to experience a few different types of cooking temperatures, meat texture and that extra special crispiness from the skin, Nelson says. The tenderness of a perfectly cooked duck breast with a sweet glaze and slightly salty finish is best paired with a medium-bodied wine with a long, complex finish.

Bellevue Lifestyle | June 2019

4 A TASTE OF HOME Japanese cuttlefish crudo with rhubarb and preserved strawberry juice 2017 Orr Old Vine Chenin Blanc, Columbia Valley, Washington For the second pairing, rather than the texture of the fresh cuttlefish, Chef Williams' focus is on how the slow-cooked strawberry juice sweetened with charred rhubarb puree falls perfectly on the palate. Nelson complements the dish with a local wine from Erica Orr, who, in his opinion, is making one of the more intriguing white wines around. He describes the chenin blanc as bold and textured while it continues to build on the finish with notes of honeydew melon and beeswax.Â
