Accomplishments

I was invited as a guest lecturer at Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA from 2001 - 2006. The entrepreneur Director for Morehouse College extended the invitation due to my background in Accounting and Finance so that I could teach and share valuable information to aspiring

college graduates regarding Credit Accountability and Debt Management. I established some long lasting relationships with some of the students who are still business clients currently. So, one of my short-term goals is to return to the classroom this fall, so I can

continue to provide some financial literacy to students who soon will be entering the Real world and expected to manage as self sufficient members of society.
