Who I really am, and what I believe...

"My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure." – Abraham Lincoln

Failure is not an option. I was raised by a single mother in East New York, Brooklyn, in the early eighties, the wrong path was always available - yet, thankfully, always a bit out of reach. Growing up my passions were reading newspapers, the sports section in particular, I still have an "unhealthy" relationship with the Yankees, and comics, this reading kept me engaged with the world of learning; unfortunately, as I was shuttled back and forth between a hard working Mom who would try her best to raise me and my "suburban" father, attending four high schools in three years, I lost my interest in formal education, I dropped out in 10th grade, I thought there was not much I could learn. How wrong was I, I secured my GED not but a few months later and went on to attend some college at CCNY. We all experience our fair share of dysfunction as we grow up, we can choose for this to be an excuse to accept mediocrity or we can choose to use such experience as the impetus to aspire to achieve all that we can. I have lived by this mantra all my life, for much of my life I have been self employed in a variety of, yet related, fields. Today I strive to apply life lessons learned, integrity, and innovation, to new ventures.
