About (request update)

I am somewhat of a precisionist tactful in a diplomatic fashion and rarely do I get involved with foolishness. I am conscientious, take care to avoid conflict. Just like to have facts before making a decision and I am uneasy when forced to decide anything quickly, however if need be, a decision will be made promptly and professional. Predictability and security are just a few of my best qualities. The stable
the environment, the happier I am. Just love and try to live a righteous life with the understanding that we all
come short of the Glory, but one thing is for sure Trust and Obey God and things will be a lot better in this life.

Born: Philadelphia, Pa. Started playing music at age of 9 and still playing. I listen to Jazz, Smooth Jazz, Classic R&B Reggae, Gospel. Moved to Jacksonville, FL. Single right now but I know that the Lady of my life is part of God's plan for my life all I have to do is trust in Him to make it happen at this time. I will never give up the mentoring and teaching young brother's and sister's about life, music, education and not throwing it away or wasting their lives. Color has no bound for what the evil side of this world can bring and that was true then and still holds firm today.

I can only look to God for the what the future may hold for my life. For if not for the Lord my God life as I know it would not be. I am able to do all things through Him. I love life and living it, read all the time, coach basketball, just love to get away and enjoy life the way it was created for me to live. I only ask for the love and understanding that only the heart can attain not only for the life it gives, but the love it will always hold. That is just part of me. Look in on me sometimes
