I'm an im-perfect man and a student of life, hoping this isn't my last one. Acknowledging that each new day is full of potential to be my best day. I create poetry and play percussion. A black man of dark-latino and African American descent. Not a big sports fan or fanatic, but rather a big movie fan. I'm the proud stepfather of 2 beautiful young adults. Daughter who is a college graduate and now is a computer engineer for a major construction equipment corporation. Son who has begun his journey to adulthood as a sophomore in college, majoring in biology. My strengths are my dependability and my hustle. My weaknesses are the sight of tears, my selfishness, and my contradictions.
