I served coffee and doughnuts from a Salvation Army Red Cross Ambulance in the Middle-East when I was young and Food and Medicine from a UN Red Cross Jeep when I was older. Now, I try to help out where I can here in America.

Out and About: A Life Story
I was born at the County Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on July 11, 1972. My mom worked for a Criminal Defense Lawyer and my dad was a City Police Officer that served in Vietnam. I grew up traveling between the United States and Africa and the rest of the world. Philadelphia has a partnership with Sudan that began in Liberia and will pay former Slave families to go back to Africa so that Dutch Slaves in Africa can come to the United States. I bet some of them would probably like to go back to Europe instead but America seems to be more interested in succeeding without Slavery then just about anywhere else in the World. I traveled back and forth between the United States and Africa about once a year for seventeen years. It's hard for me to remember the details because no one's ever really wanted to talk about it with me for very long. When I was six years old I meant Nelson Mandela in South Africa. It was outside a jailhouse at a window with bars and they told me he was the Sheriff and he lives there. In the 1970's and 1980's Africa was in transition from Provincial Government to State Government and it sometimes seemed more like War. I traveled up and down the Nile River end to end at least once. The Sudanese are the United States Federal Partner in the plan for Democratic - Republic States everywhere around the World. My education was about National Government and I really liked working on the Coffee Bean and Cotton Plantations. I learned a lot about manufacturing kitchen appliances in Africa. I hope to be able to go back to Africa one day. I think they named a cove after me somewhere near Mozambique.
