Get to know me: My dream was to become a meteorologist but I wasn't able to get the words out. I joke about this in my 1st book. Academically, I experienced ups and downs attending North Carolina Central University, Northeastern University, Southern Connecticut State University, and the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee, in addition to working and residing in South Florida, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Maryland.
