About Me

I was born and raised here in Birmingham, AL, Went to Gibson School until my jr.year where i went to Woodlwan High.School

I did not Graduate, but did get my GED. worked at different jobs as a teenager , My dad was a diskjocky at WLPH radio on the weekends , me and my brother with my dad did a lot of advertising for local businesses at the station.

My mother and dad separated when i was 17, so me my brother and mother got us a apartment in the community of centerpoint outside the city here, At the age of 28 i decided that i wanted to fly airplanes for a living , bacause at the time i love aviation and airplanes, me and my brother would hang out at the airport alot where i had a chance to get my private ticket and to move on to a commercial ticket. I solo just in 8 hours of flying lesson, so then i had flown Cessna 152, 172, 182, and had some hours in a twin Piper Seneca , so i was ready to seek my Multi Engine Rating , IFR Rating , Then my Commercial Rating.

Then the unfortunate thing had happen, my mother came down with breast cancer so she had to quit work, so i had to give up my dream of being a commercial pilot, so i could be with her , when she needed me , between my work and being home to help her, I had gone through a lot of pressure , my brother would also help too , at the time he was majoring in Commercial Broadcasting. My mother died at the young age of 63. So through those years i had got into Sales , went to work for my uncle who run a shoe store , from there was a Sales Rep, for ADT Corp, then went to work for Terminix as a Sales Rep, and today I`m with a company that was Iron Age Shoe Corp a national company for safety shoes , untill it bankrupt three years ago, which now is Hayes Shoe LLC , and now I am a Home Based Marketing Consultant & Pilot.
