MEET THE INSTRUCTOR
SCORE Business Mentor
After serving my country in the U.S. Marine Corps (enlisted) and as a commissioned officer in the U.S. Army (president appointed), I have worn a dozen of hats professionally. I am a SCORE business mentor, an advisory board member for the Delaware Black Chamber of Commerce, a council member for the State of Delaware Governor’s Advisory Council for Exceptional Citizen, and adjunct faculty teaching business management courses. I served a three-year term on the board of directors for the Stepping Stones Community Federal Credit Union, and serviced on the credit union’s supervisory committee as an auditor.
I am very passionate about business, business education, and mentoring business owners. I consider myself a lifelong learner who enjoys sharing my business knowledge through teaching and mentoring; this is why I am ecstatic about being an instructor for the Streetwise MBA program. I believe in the program. After closing the doors on my trucking company at the height of the 2008 recession, I went back to school and earned an MBA degree with an emphasis in marketing (2010). Currently, I am a doctoral candidate in the business administration program at Wilmington University, on schedule to complete my dissertation project by the fall of 2021. I am penning my first book about succeeding in life with adult ADHD despite this condition’s ability to keep you distracted.
