What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
I was a young boy when it all started. I realized what it meant to live a purposeful life and speak things into the universe. I just didn’t know how to communicate it then. Even then, I kept track of those moments in life that made me go “hmm”. It happened so often and it still does.
20FOUR is that and more. It makes you go “hmm” and think. It tells the stories and life lessons from my years living in the small towns in Alabama and Mississippi over the last 23 years to now living in New York City. I got a lot of living to do. Let this be a journal of memory from just a small piece of my life. From me to you.
