: About Me

I'm born and raised in Chicago, the focal migrating point of many from the Delta of Mississippi and Louisiana. My ancestry is mixed, I even had a German Grandfather and a Native American great-grandmother. I'm and educator in a family of many outstanding teachers. I'm a Departmental Science teacher of grades 5th through 8th in the Archdiocese for 10 years. Current Basketball coach and former DJ of some renown. Assistant pastor of a local community church. Serving as a willing "armor bearer" of a pastor who paid many dues in the civil rights movement of years passed.

Ran computers for a large well known bank in downtown Chicago, was route-salesman for Vitner Snack Company and Parkerhouse Sausage Company for several years. I put my self through college using my GI Benefits and hacking a cab for Checker Cab during evening and night shifts. I spent several years as a real estate salesperson and had the pleasure of selling my present home to myself using the commission from that sale for the down payment. Also did taxes for H&R block and was one of their top agents in the 90's. Have a few small businesses that I work out of my home including a tax service by appointment with great acknowledgments from the IRS for error-less reporting of customer tax returns. That's not the half of it.

Currently finishing up my Masters in Elementary Education and will be pursuing a Masters in Theology. I love people and love to serve the public. Motivating children to achieve their goals is my passion outside of serving the Lord. I'm a published poet and currently,I'm creating a book of poetry and wise sayings from life lessons of my experience. Finally, I'm trying to create a Math and Science Camp for inner city youth and gathering content for a math book to encourage critical thinking and problem solving.

Relationships & Family > Friendship Issues & Advice Friends for life

11 of 12

"More Precious than Gold" Lifelong friendships are to be sought and cherished. My mother told me as a child, that if I found one or two good friends that I was blessed. But to have those one or two become friends for life is beyond expectation until the realization of those relationships, after years, decades, manifests and you have reaped the great harvest of true friendship. Bill is one of those friends for life. I met him, a young pharmacist, fresh out of Florida A &M University in 1971. He was introduced by another acquaintance who has now faded off the canvas of my life, but who serve...
