ABOUT ME

Born November 8th 1981, in Neptune, New Jersey I was raised by a single mother her name is Chantal Fitzgerald, who also raised my two sisters. Charisse Fitzgerald is the oldest and Chante Fitzgerald is the youngest I was the middle child and only boy that grew up and learned a lot from my surroundings, which made me the man I am today. I took the good with the bad and learned how to be humble and appreciate everything I have accomplished in life.

Raised in New Jersey, I lived in most of the Essex County demographic areas; East Orange, Orange, Newark and Irvington, I’ve seen it all but I still did not let it make me. I’ve seen people get shot, robbed, drug dealers on every corner, stolen cars destroying towns, gangs, non-stop violence and so much more, but I still choose to take a better route.

I did not have the latest shoes and clothes, I always had good grades in school, and I was always called a nerd, a compliment for sure. Never got picked on was always cool, I had a bunch of so-called friends or at least it seemed so. I played football in high school until I broke my wrist and was diagnosis with high blood pressure as a kid. My first job was working at Pizza Hut at the age of sixteen this allowed me to at least dress a little better and provide for myself. I saved my money as best as I could to purchase my very 1st car without any financial help, thank you Uncle Oscar.

Went off to college in 1999 to Rutgers the State University in New Brunswick, New Jersey initially I attempted to major in Computer Engineering. At the time I had too much on my plate from financial aid issues to working a full time job when I should have been studying but we
