This mild-mannered, married African American father of 3 enjoys blowing up people's idea of what a black man is. As a die hard Star Trek fan, USC graduate, and Southern California native, I don't like being put in a box ... and I don't believe that any one else should either.

As such, I utilize my God-given talents as a novelist, short story writer, and blogger to change minds everyday.

Alongside my wife Jenn, I run WaterCoolerConvos.com, where you'll find me covering all things in black entertainment as well as society's perception of the African American community, especially as it relates to fatherhood and family dynamics.

I'm a Christian.

I'm a liberal.

I'm a TV junkie.

And in the end, I'm on a one man mission to tell the stories that aren't being told and to make the world understand its own diversity.
