I was born and raised in North Mississippi.  I grew up on a farm.  I am the third child of eight, born to a mother with an eighth-grade education and a father with a third-grade education.  I was a first-generation college student.  I earned a B.S. degree in Chemistry from Rust College, a M.S, degree in Organic Chemistry from Memphis State University, and a PhD degree from Memphis State University. I have served as a college professor, dean, provost, executive vice president, and interim president for more than 30 years. I am a man of strong faith.  I accepted the Christ and was baptized at the age of eleven.  I have served as an usher, choir member, Sunday school teacher, Sunday school superintendent, deacon, associate minister, and pastor.  I have continued along a path of spiritual growth, which transcended the walls of the traditional church.  I have journeyed into the land of the unknown and unfamiliar as I explored my soul. I am the founder and President of Divine Fulfillment Institute. I am the author of a book titled, "Journey Into My Soul."   My second book titled, "Converting Thoughts and Words into Things and Advancements" will be available in April 2010. I am a proud father, grandfather, brother, son, cousin, nephew, and uncle.  I am planning a sojourn throughout North America, the Caribbean Islands, Central America, South America, Africa, Europe, and Asia as I carry the Good News about God in my soul and the Christ (the Eternal Being) forever living in His bosom. I am telling the story about how Jesus showed us the way to reach God and experience God in our souls. I like to speak at significant events throughout the globe.  Ipresent workshops and seminars on how to operate in the soul and experience the infinite.
