SummaryI am a visionary, self-starter and innovative servant and
professional. My goal in life is to teach others to how to become
independent, self-motivated learners...committed to the acquisition
of knowledge (which comes from God) and change, as they lean how to
bridge knowledge and wisdom. My desire is for every student (in the
both sacred and secular arena) to realize and grasp hold to their
own identity and purpose in life...to teach them how to work
themselves out of a job by being other centered and never giving
up.
