I have over 20 years experience as a Graphic Designer as well as over 7 years as Publisher, Editor, Staff, and Guest Writer for various newsletters, newspapers, and magazines. As President/CEO of 411 Sports & Entertainment (411 S&E), I provide the latest information in sports and entertainment to the masses in the Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex and in various cities across the United States. Currently being published twice per month, 411 Sports & Entertainment is the only African American sports newspaper in the nation.

I am also the CEO and founder of World Production and Design providing graphic design services for different projects and newspapers (411 Sports & Entertainment, The Dallas Weekly, and Elite News) as well as various other projects including producing materials for Radio Shack, La Quinta Inn, Pier 1 Imports, Ace Check Cashing, Williams & Dickie, Senator Royce West Celebrator of Leadership, The Martin Luther King Parade, Youth Sports Summit, and many more. I created and operated a print management system that serves as the official system operated by Blue Cross Blue Shield Illinois and served as the Image and IT Director for the 2007 Don Hill for Mayor Campaign as well as the Carolyn Davis 2007 bid for City Council.

My professional and personal experiences have given me opportunities to speak at various events and conferences in order to motivate youth and adults encouraging them to overcome adversity by setting goals, completing their education, and being the best they can be throughout it all.
