My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Id like to meet people who help improve my living experience and help to lift me higher. All individuals, clubs and organizations that reflect my interests and experiences. Im open for offers to come in contact with new people too. People who, open me up to other ideas, visit new restaurants, read different books, or listen to all kinds of music. I want to also help others move higher. One of the best ways I have found is to listen to people for an opportunity to hear their needs, what you can do for the person, or what connections you have that might advance this person, or invite them to join you at one of the many places or events you attend. Helping others is the fastest and safest way to get others to push you higher. So help me help you...holla at ya boy For more info on upcoming events, contests, private parties and special engagementsplease click on the link below to join my exclusive VIP list
