Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Some of my struggles along the way has been getting fired from a local governmental supervisor position with a child on the way. Divorced shortly thereafter, while paying a settlement to my ex, fighting for shared custody, and missing out on two very good Bookings due to COVID.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I’m an acting coach and mentor. I train children in the community during summer camp. Most proud of the gains that I’ve had with my sons. Two in college and another doing exceptionally well in elementary school. Not a huge deal but it is something that I’m proud of because I was not raised by my biological father. What sets me apart from others is because I have been a full-time actor now for about 3 years and have operated off faith, prayer, and a few key scriptures.
What quality or characteristic do you feel is most important to your success?
My willingness to help those that are serious about their craft. Service to many leads to greatness -Jim Rohn
