About Me

I was born and raised in Cambridge, England and moved to America 12 years ago. Im a U of A grad and I am a member of the Prestigious Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Incorporated. One of my favorite quotes is "Dont take life too seriously, because you'll never get out alive." I think that we could all learn a lot from that quote in that...life is too short too trip on little stuff!. Be appreciative for what you have and enjoy your time here on earth with those you love and those that love you. Have fun, smile, and never let anyone else bring you down. Be confident in your abilities, follow your dreams, and be true to your word.The things that mean the most to me are my family, my friends, and my beautiful fiance Alana. And because of that, my definition of success does not contain the words "money", "business", or any other materialistic connotation that may come to mind. If you love yourself, your friends, your family, and your life, then to me, you are successful. Success and happiness are not destinations, they are things that one could easily attain every day you wake up, regardless of your current situation...you just have to allow yourself to be happy...because you deserve it.Me...Im loving life.God Bless.
