I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I have been told I have a tremendous amount of energy which may be true or not, depending on how you define both the terms "energy" and "a tremendous amount." I attempt to situate myself in environments and friendships that generate and perpetuate the transfer of positive energy. When that is done well, and successfully, energy abounds, the fake is not funked, and people see you operating at maximum efficiency, hence: doing it and doing it and doing it -- Right!!! However, I can also be seen as an extremely complex man. My taste ranges from Coltrane to West Coast Gangsta Rap, Spike Lee & Woody Allen films (on some level two sides of the same coin)to foreign films with subtitles, to Matrix II and the Kill Bill series.I love teaching, and consulting to various educational institutions and businesses allows me to teach a wide array of people a multitude of subjects. Examples of this are a film and blog I have had the good fortune of undertaking recently. Links to both the film and blog can be found below. The blog is an opportunity to engage a wide audience through the largest newspaper in North Country New York by inspiring dialogue on the Press Republican's website. "Off the hook" conversations are taking place on an array of topics.The film was made with Rich Allen, the director of the Media Lab at Mountain Lake PBS. Again, you can click on the links below to really see what I've been doing.

Jackson 5 cartoon - I Want You Back

The Jackson 5 cartoon series was as significant a cartoon series as any I saw throughout my childhood for the positive Black images it projected.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who have the ability to pull me into their world, enthrall me in it, and exchange positive energy with me.
