About Me: I'm
a 48 year old professional Black male originally from
Laurel, Mississippi. I grew up in the segregated south but
am fortunate I had professional parents (teachers) who, even
back in the 60's possessed a world view.
I have one older sister, Donna Yvette, who lives in Texas.
Dad passed in 1981, one year before I graduated from college,
but Mom still lives in the family home in Laurel.
Daddy pledged Phi Beta Sigma at Tougaloo College in 1948; I
pledged Nu Beta (Charter Line) at Georgia Tech (Fall 1980; #Nine
of the Tenacious Ten)
I
reside in Memphis, TN. I spent a "wonderful" year deployed to the I.Z.
(International Zone) Baghdad,
Iraq. I'm a Combat Engineer, but worked as a
construction engineer helping to rebuild the Iraqi infrastructure.
You can tell a lot about a person by what (s)he watches, does &
reads. You'll get an insight into me on the pages of this
website. |

Education:

being a poor, "coloured" kid in
Mississippi, but Mom & Dad insisted on 110% effort!!
SCHOOLS I ATTENDED:
Nora Davis Elementary
Sandy Gavin Elementary
Stewart M. Jones Jr. High

The Latest G-2:
I'm currently residing at beautiful Camp
Arifjan, Kuwait. The weather is HOT, averaging with a high
of 120 and a low of 98. We're only about 5 miles from the
ocean, so we get the heat AND the humidity (kinda reminds me of
Mississippi)! My job is the Logistics Officer (S-4) of a
5,000 man Sustainment Brigade, pushing supplies and equipment up
into the Iraqi AO. Just goes to show the versatility of
the Combat Engineers!!
