Feeding the homeless is near and dear to me and my family heart. We are so blessed and I was raised to give back to the community. It started as me being a dad wanting to show my children how life could be and to be grateful for what we do have, but it has turned into so much more than that. Every year we cook meals and deliver them to families and shelters.

Joining Phi Beta Sigma organization would be a dream come for me. That is one of my only regrets because of the family and friends that are already part of the Sigma brotherhood. The close-knit brotherhood that Phi Beta Sigma provides is unmatched. I also know that the leadership opportunities of being a Sigma is great with various opportunities to take of responsibilities and contribute to the community. I'm really looking for to being apart of the tradition and legacy that Phi Beta Sigma provides. Growing up with my dad who has been a Sigma since the 1970's have let me see first hand how special it is to be apart of such a brotherhood. I have donated to the Phi Beta Sigma on a few different occasions but one that sticks out is when they provided food to feed the entire Mississippi Valley State football team. I would be honored to join this organization to become a better man and do even more for the community. Thank you for your consideration and I have Professional and Phi Beta Sigma references upon request.
