Get Your Own! | View Slideshow
Fully Focused & Motivated. I've been very fortunate in my lifetime. I get to shake hands with the rich and the poor. The thing that matters most to me is that we are all people and you can learn something from everyone, regardless of their station in life.

I have a story to tell; Wanna here it... Here it go... We've all done some things that we're NOT proud of and then again we've all done plenty of things to make our mothers proud. Some things happened because of fate and some things happened because of luck. The most important thing is I'm here to tell about it. Well... maybe not tell about it, but I'm here ;o)

Some how I made it out of the streets of East New York, Brooklyn by graduating from Thomas Jefferson High School C/o '90. Back around '86 or '87 (Back when Crack came out) my High School was listed as the worst in the city. E.N.Y. was a f*ck!n war zone. Some how I landed in Raleigh, NC at Shaw University in August of '90. Let me tell you... A college campus in the South is heaven to a boy from BK.

I partied hard from 90-94 but some how managed to graduate after taking 21 hours in my last semester with twins on the way. I made an honest woman out of my children's mother who attended nearby St. Augustines College. I graduate Shaw U. in May 94, got married in June 94 and my twins were born in October 94 (was I puttin' in work or what?). The marriage didn't last though and I became a single parent by 25.

If you think making a baby, pledging a fraternity or going to jail makes you a man; Then try raising two, 3 year old girls on your own. Thank god for my mother's guidance and assistance. I put dating on hold and had a blast with my little ladies for the next 3 years. I was an elementary school teacher and my twins attended school where I taught.

A few years down the road I hooked up with my future wife. I actually knew her from college. She's a Delta & I'm an "Omega MAN" but we didn't date back in the day. After a few telephone conversations I realized that she was just as focussed and motivated as myself. We dated for a few years and then got married. In between we had a long distance relationship from Pittsburgh to New York, from NY to Los Angeles, from Los Angeles to Chicago and now we can both finally call NY home again.

We make a GREAT team and together the sky isn't anywhere near the limit. The most important thing about the two of us is, no matter what we do in life, we plan to get some of these kids from the 'hood and into college by ANY MEANS NECESSARY. With all of that said, I'm fully focussed and motivated... are you???
