I am a Roman Catholic convert. I joined the church on Holy Saturday of 2011. I earned a Ph.D in economics from the University of Alabama in 2013 and worked in private industry for 8 years. First, as a Senior Analyst for the now defunct Sears Holdings Corporation in Chicago then as the Forecasting Analyst for Walmart call center in Springdale, AR. My academic research is focused on Illicit drug markets. Currently, I am the lead instructor of Macroeconomics at Trident Technical College in Charleston, South Carolina and a member of the faculty council. I am a member of the Knights of Columbus and work with prisoners and some of the world's most impoverished citizens.

The following was written by two Death Row Inmates in Alabama and I wanted to share it: 

​

Death asked Life, why does everybody love you but hate me. Life responded, because you're death, you are the painful truth, while I'm a beautiful lie. You know how true this is. Nobody wants to die, Nobody likes to hear your name, Everybody wants to hear about the goodness of this life. The enjoyment of this life , And the luxuries of this life. They want true happiness in this life. It's all about what they can get in this life. I'm Life baby everybody wants some of me.
Death responded, But don't they know life is short, everyday they get closer to me, that the point of life is death. One day they will see me. And you know where I take them. Do they not know that I'm the only way they'll get to where their s'pose to be. That you (Life) is just the beginning of their journey
Life responded: Oh they know, but like I said, I'm a beautiful lie and you're you (Death). Nobody wants this life to end.
So your life and he's death, so life, can you get death to take me back where I was until y'all finish talking. Because I'm living my best you right now.
Death tell's Life, Ok i see what you talking about. But you know you're a trap right.
