Interests: Graphic Design, Golf, Publishing, Writing, Sports, & Entertainment

About Me: I have over 20 years experience as a Graphic Designer as well as over 7 years as Publisher, Editor, Staff, and Guest Writer for various newsletters, newspapers, and magazines.

As President/CEO of 411 Sports & Entertainment (411 S&E), I provide the latest information in sports and entertainment to the masses in the Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex and in various cities across the United States. Currently being published twice per month, 411 Sports & Entertainment is the only African American sports newspaper in the nation.

I am also the CEO and founder of World Production and Design providing graphic design services for different projects and newspapers (411 Sports & Entertainment, The Dallas Weekly, and Elite News) as well as various other projects including producing materials for Radio Shack, La Quinta Inn, Pier 1 Imports, Ace Check Cashing, Williams & Dickie, Senator Royce West Celebrator of Leadership, The Martin Luther King Parade, Youth Sports Summit, and many more. I created and operated a print management system that serves as the official system operated by Blue Cross Blue Shield Illinois and served as the Image and IT Director for the 2007 Don Hill for Mayor Campaign as well as the Carolyn Davis 2007 bid for City Council.

My professional and personal experiences have given me opportunities to speak at various events and conferences in order to motivate youth and adults encouraging them to overcome adversity by setting goals, completing their education, and being the best they can be throughout it all.

411 Sports & Entertainment is a diversified tabloid publication that is for the sports and entertainment fan at any level of knowledge. 411 Sports & Entertainment is committed to being a platform that profiles the true aspects of the local and national athlete in today's sports area and all entertainers, whether musicical or visual artist, actor/actress, or comedian/comedienne. Often athletes and entertainers are misquoted and their words are taken out of context. 411 Sports & Entertainment publication gives you, the reader the other side of the story from their perspective.
411 Sports & Entertainment is not afraid to report the news as well as offer thought provoking content and insight as to the character and contributions of some of our most prominent athletes and entertainers. We provide services that bring surpassing and memorable experience for our readers. Our business endeavors are always carried out professionally, honestly and with the highest degree of integrity.

411 Sports & Entertainment, is a local Dallas sports and entertainment paper, with a national flare. We follow local entertainers and the Dallas Pro Sports teams in the Dallas / Ft. Worth area, with a special interest to the diverse athlete and high school sports.

411 Sports & Entertainment is the only publication that reports on the diverse athlete on the high school, college and professional level. It also is the only one reporting on "street ball," meaning randomly visiting parks and recreation centers and reporting on the games going on. In vast contrast, the nearest competitors are DFW Sports Weekly and Sports Pages. Neither of these publications reports on the diverse athlete as their primary premise. Nor do they spotlight the high school athlete. 411 Sports feels that the high school athlete is just as important as the college athlete because it is at this level that scouts are looking for their next draft picks.

Distribution
Through carefully planned studies, based on demographics, 411 Sports & Entertainment is strategically placed in high traffic areas such as grocery stores, convenience stores, libraries, schools, colleges, health/fitness centers and sporting goods stores and barbershops. Dart rail stations, and the city of Dallas. Advertisers will then be assured that their advertising dollars are being well spent and with specially planned promotions, these advertisers will see a great return on their investment.

I really try to choose my battles carefully in order to keep a healthy union. I will not engage in an argument over dirty dishes left on the kitchen countertop--once they are left there--even if the dishwasher is empty.

However, if he gets up from the dining table before me and I have an empty dishwasher, I would casually remind him by saying: "hon, can you please rinse them before you put the dishes in the dishwasher?" it does the job all the time!

I know that it is easier said than done but, I truly believe that the only person that can be changed is yourself. And, good habits are harder to acquire than bad ones. Moreover, repetition works as long as you are consistent.

One last thing...men and women, we really are wired differently.
