He graduated valedictorian of his high school class at Caverna High School, with honors from the University of Kentucky with degrees in math and computer science; a Summa Cum Laude gradate of Crossroads Bible College with a degree in religious studies; a Master of Divinity degree from Anderson University School of Theology.

Many more accolades and accomplishments could be shared; however, time and space will not permit capturing all that encompasses the greatness of such a deserving man who constantly advocates change and improvement of lives, education, and justice for all.

Our Vision

To allow all families, especially Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, in Indianapolis and surrounding communities dealing with mental health issues—whether personally or as a caregiver— to have access to support, services, trainings, tools, and educational material that will better allow them to understand how to move positively and boldly into their future with a happy life—without fear or stigma.
