My inspiration and motivation to do what I do comes from the little
town I was raised in in Southwest Florida by the name of Immokalee.
With a population of less than 5000 people and heavily populated by
immigrant migrant workers I witnessed and encountered a unique blend
of cultures and work ethics.  In addition, being raised by a hard
working single mother and grandmother, it became evident to me at an
early age that nobody just gives you anything in life. I witnessed my
mother work 2 and 3 shifts daily for years as well as be mistreated by
friends, family, and the church community, in addition to my
grandmother working just as hard for years to help make ends meet.  As
I matured being the oldest of 8 children, I was naturally forced to
grow up at an early age and do whatever it took to assist my parents
in feeding our family and learned what it meant to lead by example in
school, in life, and on the athletic fields.

By the grace of God, I fell in love with playing football and
developed a love and curiosity for academia.  Throughout my adolescent
and teen years I was engulfed in extra-curricular activities allowing
me to dismiss and overcome negative stereotypes which included being
labeled as: another poor black kid, jock, troublemaker, a person with
ADHD, and others.  But with a strong sense of spirituality, sports,
and a passion for education, I was able to break the chain of poverty
and attain a full athletic scholarship to Indiana University and
graduate on time. The rest is history...

…Present day I work feverishly to establish a counseling practice that
works to serve as a light in the darkness for individuals regardless
of their race, gender, socio-economic status, and  culture that will
teach and guide individuals to overcoming diagnosed and un-diagnosed
mental health challenges as well as getting past rough spots through
their personal and professional lives.

Speaking as a father of two beautiful sons, husband to a remarkable
woman, and son and brother to an awesome family I challenge you to
step outside your box and embrace change welcome knowledge, love, and
wisdom into your life.
