Author of Crossing Bridges
Public Servant | Leader | Legacy Builder

Tell us a little about yourself.

I am a native inner-city Atlantan and a product of the Atlanta Public School System. My entire professional career has been dedicated to the public safety of the people of Atlanta and DeKalb County, Georgia. I am also the proud father of two successful adult children and the grandfather of five grandchildren.

What inspired you to become a writer?

I have no desire to become a writer. I only wanted to write my autobiography to leave a legacy for those in my bloodline—to share my story.

Can you share what your latest book is about?

Crossing Bridges is about my rich legacy as a descendant of free people of color who came to America in the 1700s. It tells the story of my parents and siblings, how our life together shaped me as a young man, and most importantly, my professional life—the bridges I crossed, what I learned about leadership, and how those lessons shaped my experiences while making public safety decisions.

What message do you hope readers take away from your work?
