Born in Chicago and raised in Gary, IN. Taught there is no excuses only the ones we give ourselves. Grandparents who did not have a high school education but made a successful career for their retirement plan in real estate. They knew that social security would not be enough when they retired, so the plan was put into action. I put that same thing in place but got it late as I have been in church through choirs all my life. I had my first business at 10 paper route. Lol Then from there I knew I was destined to be an entrepreneur every job I ever got I was always promoted quickly. So fast forward, we moved to Birmingham in 2008 and started Intimate Jazz and Conversations as a pop-up in 2012 to return to our 1st Love. Gerald Albright was our 1st act, and the rest was history. Then, in 2015, Perfect Note was born as a dinner supper club. Now we have 2 Perfect Note Birmingham and ATL. A cafe called Perfect Note Express breakfast and lunch in city hall. Noted through Huffington Post as the Top Blackowned venue to visit in the US. Wife has a real estate development company called Own It Property Solutions. True revitalization of communities through restoring delipidated homes for affordable housing. We have now been married for 17 years.
