I am currently a school teacher and High school basketball coach. I am co-owner of the Perfect Gentlemen Landscaping and Irrigation Company LLC. I am married with 3 children and one grandson. One of my charities is St. Jude Hospital. I would love to give more support to the children that are battling cancer. I also would like to do a deep dive into mentoring disadvantaged youth.

During my coaching career, we won 6 state basketball championships and 8 City championships. I had the pleasure of coaching Derrick Rose, Jabari Parker,Kendrick Nunn, and Taylon Horton-Tucker before they went to the NBA. I graduated from college with a bachelors and 2 Masters of Education degrees. Those were great accomplishments for me.

Outside of work, I enjoy family outings, traveling, concerts, and playing golf.
