About   (request update)
Current Whereabouts:
I reside in Greensboro, NC, working for the IBM Corp.(1yr 4mos) as an IT-Specialist/Web Developer. I am also Executive Vice President of The Gospelmania Company - a company which exists to enhance the Christian experience by way of the Internet. I am also CEO/President of VANECCI SHOES, a designer shoe company. I am very active in my church, serving in the capacity as Associate Minister (4 yrs). I am truly a BLESSED MAN and I owe it all to GOD! Thank you for the wonderful things You are doing in my life!! Lastly, God allowed for me to unite in Holy Matrimony with the former Vanessa Charlyce Sledge on August 28,1999. We met when I was 12 years old (1986) and were best of friends. What a perfect ending to a beautiful love story....

Education   (request update)
Fisk University class of 1999
Undergrad Major: Computer and Information Science
Claim To Fame:
My "Claim to fame" is the many, many wonderful people I met at Fisk. There are too many to mention, but I met stars and future leaders at that small university in Nashville, TN. I am truly blessed to have met all of you...you know who you are! Much love from your boy, "Meechie"!
Most Memorable Moment:
My most memorable moment was walking across the patform to receive my diploma. There is a story that many don't know about my college situation...not having the finances, in and out of school, and going to class without being registered or financially cleared. I had COMPLETE FAITH in God. Many teachers can remember writing my name in their roll books without me being cleared...but they can honestly say, "he still came..." So, it was something to take that first step on the stage, look out at my many family members and friends with tears in their eyes, and grasp hold of that diploma. It was a bitter sweet moment I'll forever cherish. I looked to Heaven and thanked God for giving me the strength to endure. It was awesome. Every step I took, I had a flashback on where God brought me from. Mind you, I am from a middle class "Cosby" type family (this is what people say about us) and it proves that you don't have to be down and out or from a poverty stricken atmosphere to experience things in life...I just put my status down and held on to GOD's loving hands...He carried me and is still carrying me today. Oh what a memory!!
