Born in Daytona Beach Florida on April 18 1955. Raised by grandmother in both MacClenny and Jacksonville Florida. Have one sister and a half sister a niece and two nephews and only one child a son and seven grandchildren.

Graduated from Baker county high school in 1974 and thereafter joined the U.S Army where I worked as a armor crewman from 1974 to 1977. After leaving the army I when to Atlanta Georgia where I attended technical school majoring in computer technology. After graduation from technical school I worked for a year in North Carolina with a computer firm. Disillusioned with the pay and personal issues I quit that job and when back to Florida where I landed a job with Computer Sciences Corporation at the Kennedy Space Center from 1979 to 1986.

While employed at the space center I became heavily involved in the use of marijuana during the latter years of my employment and that combined with other issues resulted in my losing that job in 1986. In the latter half of that same year I was introduced to crack cocaine and subsequently became an active user until 1996. Sentenced by a judge in Tampa Florida to enter a six months drug rehab program in that city I moved back to MacClenny Florida after successfully completing that program. I have been clean and sober since that time.

In May of 2013 I received my bachelor’s degree in Computer Information Systems from Jones College Jacksonville Florida. I currently live in the Atlanta Georgia Metro area. I have created and is the sole proprietor of two Website based companies: http://luciditybooks.com, which is a Website dedicated to selling the books that I have written via amazon.com, books.google.com and createspace.com, and http://hiveaids.com which is a networking and research Website for people who are HIV/AIDS positive.
