My blogs

Gender	Male
Occupation	Author/Motivational Speaker/Workshop Designer & Facilitator
Location	Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States
Introduction	I still believe that people are inherently good. I still wish upon a star. I still believe that happy thoughts can make you fly. I still believe that if you wish hard enough; believe hard enough; and hope hard enough -- the way a child does ... that wish may just come true.
Interests	I enjoy empowering individuals by motivating, educating, and entertaining through writing, public speaking and workshop design and facilitation. My goal, besides authoring books, is to design and facilitate a series of courses and workshops that focuses on improving self-awareness, building individuality, connecting core values, and building a bridge to self-actualization; fulfilling ones individual potential. I began this work with the publication of my first book, Baltimore Monday: A celebration of Life beyond Sexual Abuse, (2006, Signature Print), and subsequent workshop: "Heroes and the Boogie Man, " (2008, Carlos Michael Communications).
Favorite Music	If it tells a story or makes me feel like dancing -- then that is my favorite music.
Favorite Books	"It's Time For Your Comeback, " by Tim Storey.
