“Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.” – Henry Ford. I’m a community advocate, leader, and strategist. I have a background in economics and sociology which enables me to understand complex financial issues in addition to the cause and effect of various economic phenomena. As a Developer at Rule Enterprises, I structure innovative commercial real estate developments to:- Create quality living for those in urban communities via housing, retail, office and community establishments.- Create revenue for federal, state and local governments.- Create jobs, those which may not have been available without the particular investment.I use my passion of community development, to create and consult for multifamily development, creation of wealth through business ventures and opportunity through equity to dismantle the economic disparities in communities of color across the country. My work in both Milwaukee, WI and Washington DC has allowed me to witnessed firsthand the major issues that small communities within a fairly large metropolitan areas are faced with. Brutal inequalities in measures of poverty, unemployment, educational attainment, and health benefits are all problems that are within the realm of correction.Whether its racial disparities, socioeconomic status, or get the attention of political figures, I will continue to listen to those from communities similar to mine and be the liaison that is needed to create and empower change.
