About   (request update)
My love of my people then others. It allows me to travel and mingle in almost any environment. Including going to a city where I know "no One". Then hitting the clubs and socializing without the fear of someone robbing or doing harm to me. Black people seem to take good care of me and it is my turn to give back.
My Interview Question
What made you choose academia as a source for inner development ?
Current Whereabouts:
Book writing, building gadgets, public speaking, Mentoring programming for youth, vocational education for youth, political science
Life & Professional Aspirations:
Would like to do some high tech things in specific countries in Africa. Those that are not engulfed in a civil war and have an affinity for technological advancement. My experiences in power distribution, manufacturing and waste water treatment would be priceless in Africa....just working the details, so written a book.

Education   (request update)
Michigan St Univ class of 1990
Undergrad Major: Electrical Engineering
Claim To Fame:
Small time country boy from Michigan to nuclear engineer having designed and programmed multiple automation manufacturing solutions, probably puts my feather in my hat. Traveled to Egypt and stayed at the Nile Hilton downtown Cairo. That was a very momentous ocassion in my life. There, I visited the tombs of great black Kings and went into the body of the Pyramids in Giza. Have worked at a significant number of very large companies in my professional engineering career including General Electric, Sperry, Control Data, IBM and TIMKEN. At these companies and working in the capacity of Controls Engineer or Application Engineer or Power Engineer, have built countless automation process machinery.
Most Memorable Moment:
My parents and siblings coming to East Lansing to visit me on the weekends and all of us going ice skating on campus or to the horticultural gardens. Then showing them around the campus...at times discovering places for the first time myself. Selling middle eastern tapestries to fellow students to hang on walls in dorms.

4-year Academic Scholarship to Michigan State University Director of educational charity, Africa on Wheels, Inc. with a mission of mentoring youth about math and science careers and administrative su
Best Memories:
Running for president of the Student Council my senior year. Though, my competitor won, it was so thrilling running and making speeches. Then, also, I made so many friends....and the teachers were so happy that I had the nerve to run against a known champion, so to speak....yet, came so close to winning
Experience
I currently work with PSEG Nuclear as Principal Electrical Engineer
I have 35 years of experience working in the Engineering industry.

When you go to my profile page make sure that you click on the link to my website for some information on how you can earn some extra money with your own online business. Yes, I personally use this system and I promise you that you will not get rich, but the extra money comes in handy. I also realize that this type of program may not interest you and that's okay. If this is the case, share the link with someone else that might be interested. The economic arena is rough out here and is likely to get worse.

Thank you Jamal for becoming friends The website presentation http://www.trylightyear.com/ is not directly about paying off student loans. But Take notice of the 2nd testimonial (which is 2min. into the video) when the single mother talks about sharing this LightYear Wireless concept with her 2 daughters. IT was at that moment I decided to put together a simple spend sheet that any HBCU-CONNCTION student could use to take control of their student debt. MY basic theory using this LightYear Wireless concept was to help you & other students to do this just 1 time/wk. You will learn how to earn weekly income (so that you can just to enjoy the college life) & monthly residual income. It is the residual income that I'm trying to show you in the spread sheet on how to payoff your student loans. The new school year has just started & I'm willing to bet that you have shared your cell phone # with 10 new friends. And most of them have the same student loan concerns as you. Please simply reply by going to my profile website an under my picture entry your infro. I'm only asking that you let me get this FREE spend sheet into your hands. I like to hear your opinion about this concept for paying bac student loans.
