First introduced to literature by Mrs. Shelton his third grade teacher, he was assigned to recite a dedication to Alexander Dumas during Black History Month. Overwhelmed by his teacher's knowledge of the great writer, the seed was planted which birthed a hunger for Dumas's work and desire for he himself to one day pen something of literary acceptance. This further developed into a love of feature films, as he spent countless childhood hours watching movies at the neighborhood Apollo Theater. Arriving at 10:00AM and then departing some twelve hours later every Saturday and Sunday. Throw in an occasional Wednesday movie special, and the Apollo was more an institute of learning than source of recreation. Active military service proved to be both challenging and demanding. Pursuing college off and on while serving was difficult but still didn't diminish his passion for writing. After an extremely successful twenty-two year career he spent the next ten years as a consultant to the military. Writing in his spare time, he self-published "D & D Poetry" in February 2004. A collection of poems about a relationship from a male perspective, D & D Poetry received some very favorable reviews.
