My journey began on January 27, 1968 at Howard University Hospital, Washington, DC. I received my education through the D.C. Public school system. After graduation I worked a variety of jobs but my most fulfilling employment were with KFC, and the Marriott International. Because I could always spot a diamond in the rough I loved detailing cars. I could always bring out the beauty and work out what others saw as imperfections.

I accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized at the Image of God Church in Christ. My spiritual transformation continued with the Bethel Christian Fellowship Church where I served as a member of the Security team and the Usher Board member.

Anyone who knew me learned a few things quickly; I enjoyed making folk laugh, I was always the life of the party, and I treasured spending time with my family. Cooking was a delight and the Philadelphia Eagles was my team! I will save a place for each of you in my heavenly "soul train line!"
