I have another younger sister from
my dad and three younger brothers.
My mom joined the Military when I was in the 2 nd grade and we moved to Fort. Hood Texas when I was
in the 3 rd grade. We moved to Munich Germany my 4 th grade year and stayed till midway through my 7 th
grade year, when we moved back to Virginia while my mom had to do another Military School. It was a
tough transition leaving Germany, with all the freedoms to return to the States.
Graduated High School from Bradwell Institute, in Hinesville, Ga adjacent to Ft. Stewart in 1988. Played
Football, Baseball and Track at Bradwell, earning a Scholarship in Football and Track to various Schools.
Elected to play football at West Ga. College, now West Ga. University in 1992. While at West Ga. I joined
Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity in the Spring of 1989. I started my first business there as well, when I opened
up a College club called the Blue Paradise. It was a small but profitable business for the Frat as we had
the best parties after all major events, to include Homecoming games and Step Shows.
Upon Graduation from West Ga. Was also Commissioned as a 2LT. in the US Army. After Graduation,
went to Ft. Eustis, Va. To complete the Officers Training Academy as well as became a Platoon Leader. I
had my 1 st son while at Ft. Eustis and decided to move back to Atlanta to raise my son and join the
Atlanta Police Academy
Spent 8 years on the Atlanta Police Department and was an undercover Police Officer for the last 3
years, working on numerous assignments that involved some major crime arrests throughout the city.
My team led the city in narcotic, prostitution stings and car theft arrests.
I left the Atlanta Police Department in 1999, as my next business, Priority One Security, which I opened
in 1995, started growing. Priority One was providing security for a number of artists, to Include TLC
when they were just ascending, as well as a number of LA Face artists. Our Specialty became housing
projects, which we provided security for many AHA Properties and eventually took over all major AHA,
Atlanta Housing Authority’s portfolio. Due to the success of Priority One, I started a contract with the
Original Uptown Comedy Corner on Peachtree Rd., which led to me eventually starting the New Uptown
Comedy Corner in 2005.
Uptown Comedy Corner reopened in 2005 on Marietta St and has been functioning consistently every
since. Uptown has had some of the biggest names in Comedy, from its original owner, Earthquake, to
Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Mike Epps, Kevin Hart, Katt Williams, DC Curry, DL Hughley, Bill Bellamy,
Sommore, Monique, Bruce Bruce, Deon Cole, Faizon Love, George Wallace J. Anthony Brown, Lavell
Crawford, Corey Holcomb and many more. It has opened the careers of so many since, like DC Young
Fly, Lil Duval, Karlous Miller and the list goes on and on. Uptown has become a staple in the Comedy
world and every knows, you have not made it until you have played Uptown.
During the years, I have started a Granite Company, two Sports Bars, clothing company, Bonding
Company and an Adult Entertainment Club.

On a personal level, I have coached Youth Football winning two Super Bowls, Youth Baseball, winning 2
World Series Titles, 2 Region titles and countless tournament titles. I have played and coached Adult Flag
Football for over 25 years, winning a National Title, over 10 Tournaments and countless number of
