I've lectured at over 500 colleges and universities, and I'm recognized as an expert on the African American fraternal system. My lectures are accessible to all students, as I speak about fraternal history, and the issues of hazing & Greekdom on campus. I'm also an expert on racism on college campuses.

I attended both the University of California at Berkeley and UCLA, with a BA in American History from UCLA and a Master of Fine Arts in screenwriting from the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television.

I live in Los Angeles with my 16-year old son, Langston, and my wife April.
