Retired veteran of the New York City Police Department who currently writes and produces Off and Off-Off Broadway theatre in New York City.

Financially and emotionally stable as well as spiritually grounded in the Yoruba Tradition (IFA), as I am an initiated priest of that corpus.

I enjoy late night picnics, fishing, martial arts, reading, independent films (foreign and domestic), writing, directing and producing live and taped radio dramas; dancing, long passionate kisses; midnight beaches; museums and art galleries;cooking, gourmet dining, screenwriting; playwriting and poetry.

Honesty and integrity are basic, fundamental pre-requisites for engaing me in a conversation of possibilities. I am open to all racial and ethnic backgrounds.

I am researching, possibilities, and more

Currently, I am living my commitment to create a new paradigm in the arena of theatre. I have written and produced six of my seven Yoruba Dance Dramas and continue to explore the myriad arenas in entertainment that I might showcase my writing. I'm in the process of having a adult fantasy graphic novel created, to be released by the summer of 2010. I'm writing a western screenplay, based on the life of an African American US Deputy Marshal. I'm pursuing Excellence and not Perfection, in my life and my work. I'm looking for people that I've experienced in the journey of my life that I enjoyed and have lost contact with.
There are so many things....

I am good at listening to other's experiences, composing music, writing, being open to the possibilities of the world, keeping my word, cooking, long slow passionate kisses, being able to discern Bull Sh*t. I'm good at dressing up and dressing down, dancing, conversing on a variety of subjects, reading aloud, drumming, making you laugh, laughing at myself, arguing fairly and pursuing excellence.

The first thing people notice about me is my willingness to work with others. My eyes, my lips, my voice...

Six things I could never do without:
My relationship with God
My notebooks
Final Draft and Movie Outline
My musical instruments
My laptop
Unconditional love of the people in my life.

I spend a lot of time thinking about what it takes to be the best human being that I can be.
What the rest of my life will look like?
What will be my legacy to the world?
Who is worthy to share this chapter of my life with?

Friday nights I'm open to any and all possibilities.

Is that I have no secrets, because secrets have too much power!!!

After reading my profile essay, you want to engage me in a conversation of possibilities. If you are an entreprenuerial artist. If you are a person that pursues Excellence.
