Bio
A little about me
I can only describe myself as an eLearning & Online Education Expert by Trade, Consultant in Practice, Educator by Profession, Entrepreneur at Heart, Mentor by Design, Christian by Faith, Humanitarian in Spirit, and Politically Independent by Virtue. I am also a student of world languages and religions.
I've had many professions and titles over the years. There are too many to list. However, three of my favorite titles are being called a son, a husband, and a father. Another favorite title is "cable man" because of the years I've worked in the telecommunications industry and because I actually was a cable man. These days, I still work in the telecom industry as a consultant. I am also a full-time dean and an adjunct instructor at various institutions. In addition to teaching, I run a real estate development company and a consulting business. Lastly, I am a board member at two faith-based non-profit organizations, one providing reentry services for newly released prisoners. They also offer scholarships to students who wish to pursue an education in a STEM-related field and assist with humanitarian and disaster relief during national emergencies. I sometimes teach professional development courses and minister at the non-profit. I believe in giving one's time, talent, and monetary resources to help others, as others once helped me. The "love of humanity" and my faith in God drive this desire.
I promised myself to write a book about my 30-year life and educational journey from the hectic 1990s and the dark 2000s to the hopeful 2010s and the sunny 2020s. I have indeed died and was spiritually reborn. I owe everything to God.
From GED to Ed.D. and Ph.D.
It has been quite a ride!
Here are some of my favorite inspirational quotes that guided me through those difficult years.
John 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
1 Corinthians 9:22
Paul states, "To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some."
1 Corinthians 13:13
“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”
