I was born here, raised here and lived here most of my life. My sons were born here as well, and I met my wife here our junior year in high school. Because I grew up here I know a lot of people; I know Carlisle, so it’s second nature to me. I’m involved in different things. It’s easy to get involved. I started the Memorial Park Hoop Project. I’m part of the Hope Station Board; I helped start the Black History Festival and the Juneteenth 3-on-3 basketball tournament. I’m also a Mason at LeTort Star Lodge 18. It’s just easy to get involved I’m always down to help out with whatever.
