A jack of all trades, he mastered everything from barbering to accounting, entrepreneurship, Administrator/Owner of an Assisted Living Facility and DJ’ing. He was very involved with his community and church. He was a loving son, brother, friend, and confidant. He dedicated his life to the mentally disabled and encouraged everyone to become bigger and better.
