I was born and raised in Little Rock, AR. I have a wife of 23 years, 5 sons, and 10 grandchildren, 7 girls and 3 boys. I have worked in the field of substance abuse/use for over 25 years, as an internationally certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor. My undergraduate degree is in Criminal Justice, followed by my Masters of Science in Addictions Studies. My hobbies consist primarily of assisting others and playing dominoes. I have a private practice (CORPP Inc.) Court Outreach Referral & Placement Program, which advocates for people who have substance abuse related issues coupled with problems within the criminal justice system. I was initially encouraged/recruited by the staff of "The National Alliance to End Homelessness" last year (2018), prior to my first conference; to step up and play the role of State Captain for my home state of Arkansas. I was humbly, honored for that opportunity and here I am again still humbled and honored to do my part on "Capital Hill Day" (2019). Still willing to do my part to make a difference in the live of the homeless citizens of our global society.
