By day, I am a TEDx Motivational Speaker and Life Coach. By night, I am an avid pickleball player and health nut. I've spent half of my childhood living in the Chicago area with my mother and the other half in Detroit with my father. My father's favorite quote to me was; "Son, there's no such thing as I can't." He was a bit of a street minister like Malcolm X. And my mother is a published author of a self help book and a community builder. What I've learned from my childhood was the distinction between positivity and authenticity. People always talk about the importance of positive thinking which is important. In addition to that, what I practice and preach is consistent authenticity. Which leads to inner peace. I love the acting space because it is an outlet of my authentic self which is expressive, passionate, and sometimes goofy. I believe that we can never go wrong if we keep love at the center of everything we do.
