Black for Math

Tell me that ain't funny!

About Me

Warning: I am the class clown that grew up. I love laughing and making other people laugh. I'm a modest dude with big aspirations. I'm confident, and know where I'm going in life.
I feel like one of the luckiest dudes in L.A. because I have my own company doing what I love to do –helping urban youth become competitors in the classroom when it comes to math ( www.1234math.com ) . What I do ain’t sexy –I’m not a rapper, actor, or bomb athlete, but I make money AND impact young black and Latino lives -and their communities- in a positive way…kind of like the opposite of the corner liquor store or certain rappers that call women bitches and promote violence.
Love people --particularly ladies who have "been kissed by the sun" -- and music. I'm an intellectual man who knows how to keep it real when the situation calls for it. I believe in a strong body AND strong mind. To keep my body strong I lift weights. To keep my mind strong I read and do math. I love to travel - been to Africa and various parts of Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe. I've lived in 1st and 3rd world conditions and have been through enough bad and good to realized that both are necessary to have lived a full life --because of this you won't catch me trippin' when things go haywire...life is too short.
My Philosophy on Gettin' Yours: "Don't talk about it, be about it - Shut-up!"
