Born in Baltimore Maryland in 1976 but had the privilege of moving to Israel where I achieved a Bachelor's in Music and Public Relations. After returning to America in 09, to witness the birth of my first born, my community career began. Wanting to exemplify to my son the role of a great man I volunteered for all types of opportunities. The Urban League, Habitat For Humanity, The Black Expo and Head Start, just to name a few.

My interest comes from a desire to see the 21ST Ward grow into a well-organized, attractive, clean, and unique community in keeping with the core elements of our rural identity.
