I AM...
- A black man who loves his wife, children, grandchild, family, and himself
- A seeker of mastery of self and life
- A meditator
- A poet – composing and consuming poetry
- A “conspiracy theorist” who looks beyond the surface of things and events – what is most visible is often never what’s most important
- A bibliophile, especially loving books about history, religion, self-mastery, law, mystery, military, spy novels, biographies, and Sherlock Holmes
- A fan of jazz, old-school R&B, neo-soul and funk music
- A questionable but joyful golfer
- An avid movie-goer – lover of action thrillers, psych and suspense thrillers, and comedy movies
- A trial lawyer who one day will lay down his sword and shield, down by the riverside, and ain’t gonna study war no more after that. Yes, I love Negro Spirituals, and I will not fight beyond my prime.
