- Background Information:
I grew up in rural America...farm areas of South Carolina. I am the youngest from
a large family. I wanted to escape the confines of the country life and pursue a
career as a U.S Air Force Pilot. I enjoyed writing in High School but knew that this
profession would probably not support me as a secondary career pursuit. So I
decided to choose Engineering as a backup course of study in college if I didn't
become a pilot. I did become an Air Force Pilot and also an Electrical Engineer. I
completed this part of my life and I'm still dreaming.
My gift of writing has enhanced my career profession in all areas. My passion is
my love for children and all that surrounds their lives…to include the parents and
the community. My purpose and destiny lies in this area. The books that I've
written are a reflection of my love for children and family. I place a special
emphasis on the male child and the role he assumes by default of society. My
quest is to be a demonstration of Responsibility, Determination, Faith, and one
who has learned from his mistakes in life.
Accomplishments:
High School Honor Graduate, Former Air Force Pilot, B.S. Degree Electrical
Engineering, Federal Government Service Award, Commercial Pilot License,
Department of the Army Achievement Award, Former PTA President, U.N.C.F.
Distinguished Service Award, School Age Care and Youth Care TCC Certificate,
Elementary School Appreciation Award.

Why I Wrote This Book? This book came
was concerned about his future and his
thought processes. So I wrote a document
outlining the many key areas he should
consider when deciding on a course of action
during college and after graduation. This
document contained a 3-year detailed
instruction plan as to how to begin planning
his career from that point. I also created a
binder with possible career options so he
could examine each one while still in college.
The intent was to stimulate his mind into
thinking about his career choice, job
availability, credit cards, finances, gifts and
talents, relationships, etc. I encouraged him
to show this plan to his friends who were also
planning similar careers. His friends had not
seen a plan like this. About one year later, I
decided to expand this plan into a book. I
discovered that many young adults did not
have a clear plan or direction about their
future. They had not considered other career
options and did not understand the many
pitfalls and disappointments that could lie
ahead in all areas of their lives.
