Family
I was born on the East Coast and raised in the Midwest. I have biological brothers and sisters but was raised as an only child. My father is deceased and my mother lives in the Midwest. My closest biological family members are my mother, a brother and a couple of cousins. I've learned to embrace those individuals who demonstrate their godly love and support towards me as extended family. I am blessed to have these people in my life.
Upbringing
Teachers and neighbors were very supportive in my formative years. One teacher in particular will always be remembered because she encouraged me to to always reach higher. To this day, I recall it was she that paid my undergraduate application fee. There was also a neighbor in particular who asked my mom if she could take me to Sunday school and church. I accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior in 1983.
Education
I graduated valedictorian from high school at 16 and immediately began a college summer program thereby graduating at 20 having majored in French Language and Literature. I eventually went to graduate school to study Computer Systems and got an MBA at the age of 27. If I were to pursue another advanced degree, it would be a Juris Doctorate. However, I am more likely to get professional certifications in healthcare, finance or information technlogy.
