  Born in Brooklyn, New York (Beford-Stuyvesant on Hancock between Marcy and Nostrand) and I graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School. One of my favorite places to visit is the Brooklyn Museum . My favorite team is the New York Knicks who are soon to be NBA World Champions (if there is a season)! I love to listen to contemporary jazz, e.g., Boney James, George Howard, David Sanborn, Najee', some select rap and contemporary gospel, e.g., Kirk Franklin and Family. Some of my favorite magazines are Vibe magazine, PC World and Sports Illustrated.

  I am married to the lovely Melanie Victoria Ferguson (it will be five years this May) from Baltimore, Maryland. Melanie graduated from North Carolina A & T State University with a degree in Electrical Engineering. Melanie is also a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Alpha Mu chapter.
