I am sixty-three years old. I was born in Vallejo, California, and now reside in Memphis, Tennessee, with my beautiful wife, Gwendolyn, and our two sons with special needs whom we adopted. My wife and I have been married for twenty-seven years. Together, we have seven children with the addition of our adopted sons. We also have ten grandchildren. My wife and I were foster parents for a number of years before we adopted our two sons. We have had a total of six foster children that we have cared for over the years. One of the greatest joys from the experience of being a foster parent was the adoption of our sons. Our oldest son, Tavarius, inspired me to write my first book, A Fragile Child’s Cry, and it is because of both of my sons that I decided to do my second book, which is titled 17 Years and Still Struggling.view less
