Untold Story

I was born into a poor household with little to nothing and we spent our early years like many, dependent mostly on government nutritional outreach programs, food stamps, and public housing riddled with crime as well as drugs.

Fortunately, exposure to my childhood challenges and concurrent life's setbacks have provided me with the determination along with the drive to work hard to self-develop and achieve my goals to better serve God, Family, Country, and Community!
