About   (request update)
Current Whereabouts:
Now i am a single father of two children one son age 17 and one daughter age 13. I am employeed at the R.David Thomas Center at Duke University. it is a challnenge for me to be going back to school but it has to be done. it is also a challenge raising two children as a black man because it is often said that black men cannot raise children like a woman, but i am here to say that is not true because i am doing all by myself, and we do not have any family here in NOrth Carolina all of our family is in South Carolina.
Education   (request update)
North Carolina Central University class of 2008
Undergrad Major: Hospitality
Claim To Fame:
attednd Johnson & Wales University in Charleston, SC. while there I became President of the BSU and at the time the group had been labeled as not a good group through my guidance and hard work with the memberes who wanted to take an active part we turned the BSU into a group that was now reconized as group who gets things done and does what it says it will do' Along with the members of the group we adopted a family for the christmas holidays and gave them what they need and the children what they asked for in the way of toys. We put on different events to raise money for the group. the group has established itself as a group to follow.
Most Memorable Moment:
My most memorable in college is when the president of the University came to me and said that i was very persistance and i asked him how he meant it and he said for what i have done with the Black Student Union by putting them on the right track.
