| Introduction | I am a native son of St. Croix, Virgin Islands. My life thus far has produced the following labels: proud husband and father; activist; scientist; author; award-winning artist; Harvard-published poet; Purdue-medievalist who signifi(r)es; philosopher; traveler; and tennis & wine enthusiast. I hold degrees from Trinity College, Michigan State University and Purdue University in the fields of Biology/Pre Medical and secondary in Chemistry, English/World Literature & Language, Literary Theory and Philosophy. I hope to continue my studies in the ethical fields of Medical Humanities (Drew), Theology/Divinity (Harvard) and Apologetics (Oxford). I believe to whom much has been given, much is required. At the ripe old age of 40 I will devote my energies to writing, writing and more writing alongside travel. Until then, I await my next adventure... |
