About the Author:

The Illinois born and New Jersey-raised author is a Wake Forest University alumnus. His initial
corporate background (auto insurance claims) is complimented with his involvement with
service programs like Bowl for Kids’ Sake (with Big Brothers-Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta) and other related programs. However, he reaches for more as he transitions to teaching in Gwinnett County Public Schools at Pinckneyville Middle School; he serves as an advisor for the after-school sports programs, the yearbook, and the Lyricists’ Lounge Poetry Club (in addition to teaching language arts, social studies, and journalism). While making positive inroads, there’s
more in store.

He grows as a community presence, ranging from his board membership on Family Food
Festival Atlanta, the LEAD Foundation, Inc., a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc (since
1991), including the Alphas of Atlanta (which hosts its annual #AlphaDerbyWeekend TM ), along
with different advisory boards including serving as a former president of the Association of
Wake Forest University Black Alumni (2011-15), the university’s Alumni Council (2011-16),
Alumni-In-Admissions, the School of Divinity (2017-22), the Greek Alumni Advisory Board, and
other related entities. And then in 2017, he expands his reach in adding the title of published
author.

The Literature: The 2020 release nothing Minor (hardcover and e-book) takes an in-depth yet accessible look for fans at multiple levels at the National Pastime via the lens of the minor leagues. Covering 7 games in 8 weeks across the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and Mississippi, it provides an intimate and engaging look at the grand old game at the A, AA, and AAA level. Complete with player interviews, game-coverage, photos, and a look at the Negro Southern Leagues Museum (during the 100th anniversary of the league), fans of the game at all levels can connect with the overall gamesmanship to connecting with future stars (as to date, at least 6 of the players interviewed are either on Major League rosters or have seen time at that level) and seeing the game within and beyond the game.

The 2022 release quotes and notes: something’s on the horizon, is the ideal blend of think-
perspective piece and journal for readers in need of encouragement, empowerment, a little challenge, and shaping your perspective. With a combination of original quotes by the author
(with one exception) designed to spark one’s thinking and related actions, it’s about taking the
initial steps of honing one’s focus; complemented with the space to journal, readers can
formulate their thoughts and ideas and start aligning them with their larger goals of their
professional, community, and personal growth, unlocking what is truly inside them and
realizing the potential positives that truly could be within reach and are on the horizon.
