Co-author of the best-selling book The Black Families Guide to College Admissions: A Conversation about Education, Parenting, and Race. I have spent the past 25 years working in various areas of higher education, primarily in enrollment management at Emory University where I currently serve as the Senior Associate Dean in Undergraduate Admission. In this role, I serve as a member of the leadership team for the recruitment, evaluation, and construction of the freshman class for Emory University, including students who will eventually matriculate to Goizueta Business School and the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing. In addition to his work in enrollment management, I have also worked in student affairs, residential life, athletics, and with several Federal TRiO programs at two-year, state flagship, and private institutions. Beyond his work in higher education, I have worked with several Non-Profit and Community Based Organizations that include 100 Black Men of Atlanta, Chicago Scholars, UPS Foundation, Jack Kent Cooke, National Merit Corporation, United Negro College Fund, the Gates Foundation, and currently a Board Member for TDI (Turning Dreams into Reality). I have also done contract work with the Division of Family and Children Services helping students in foster care gain access to college, as well as other community initiatives. A native of Arlington, Texas, I earned a BA in Psychology from Morehouse College, MEd from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and has completed all doctoral work at Georgia State University. My academic interests include HBCUs, post-secondary access of under-represented populations, and supporting Black male initiatives. When not working, I am a husband, father of twins, avid runner, traveler and author.
