    • Trivia
      At the tender age of 17 he wrote a stage play that was picked up on Off-Broadway. Based on that play's success he was gifted a full scholarship to Columbia University in New York City. While there he perfected his craft and wrote several other stage plays including "The Day The Bronx Died" starring Isaiah Washington.

      A four-year stint in the US Marine Corp led to the epic unproduced screenplay "Uncle Sam's Misguided Children", an acronym for USMC. During that time he also wrote "In Too Deep" and "Dead Presidents", the critically-acclaimed feature film.

      In short succession he also penned the television series "Laurel Avenue" and the critically-acclaimed "Under One Roof." Eschewing the Hollywood lifestyle, he lives in the Midwest with life partner Kim.

    a great family drama

    Although the show was short lived on CBS, it was a great drama about an African American family living together coping with today's issues such as racism, infidelity and unruly children just to name a few. Of course the entire cast were excellent which was headed by the honorable James Earl Jones, Joe Morton, Vanessa Bell Calloway, Essence Atkins and the scene stealer Merlin (The Steve Harvey Show) Santana as the young troubled teen. Its too bad other networks didn't consider picking this prize winner of a drama up when CBS axed it. I'm sure it would have been a hit on the WB or BET networks.
