I was born on September 15, 1974 at Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn. My parents resided in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn until we relocated around the time I turned 7 years old, we moved into the East New York section of Brooklyn's Cypress Hills Housing Projects where I attened all of the neighborhood schools P.S 202, IS 218 and then I went to East New York Transit Tech High School. I later left school and attended a GED Program at Alpha School and after taking my GED test and failing it by a few points I rethought my actions and returned back to school to granduate from Richmond Hills High School in Jan of 1994, two years after that I went and signed myself up to John Jay College Of Criminal Justice. I eventually grew tired of the city life packing my family up and moving to North Carolina's Raleigh/Durham area and this proved to be a good move because this is where I homed in on my writing ability. I started writing in 2004 and wrote 15 novels by the time 2006 rolled around, I published my first book in 2007 which was Through The Eyes Of The Streets and then I published a second in July of 2008 which was Didn't See This Coming. Now with me self publishing I knew I had to come correct because presentation is everything in today's society and I knew with me going on the strength of my own writing abilties, I had to take the world by storm I had to come correct and present myself to the world the right way, because I don't know if you know how hard it is to approach a complete stranger and offer them some of your work to buy and them not knowing anything about you and they are willing to separate with their hard earned cash is an accomplishment within it's self, but I got tired of waiting and wasting time waiting for phone calls to come in from publishing houses that never were going to call anyway. So I took action and got on my grind and I have been ever since, within this time that's gone by I am still working on more novels and trying to finish them up. I am currently working on several big projects for Nikki Turner, Bill Dukes, Oprah Winfrey, and BET network. My ultimate goal is to turn every last one of my novels into a motion picture.
