Family
God placed in my heart that April was my wife months before I approached her for dating. On our first date, I told her that I believe God wants us to be married, but let’s prove this revelation. After one year of dating, plus marriage counseling and the adventure of wedding planning, we have been married since 2005 and have two daughters. We have had ups and downs during our marriage, but God has constantly guided us through His Kingdom marriage principles, and each year our marriage grows better and stronger.
Education
From a young age, I have always had a strong creative inclination, often disassembling electronic devices and challenging myself to put them back together. My early creativity even extended to crafting transformers from cardboard, and with my father’s guidance, I constructed a robot for a high school science fair project.
I graduated as salutatorian from A.R. Johnson Health Science and Engineering Magnet High School, which set the stage for my academic pursuits at Morehouse College and the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). At Morehouse, I earned a degree in General Science, and at Georgia Tech, I completed a dual degree in Electrical Engineering.
My educational journey continued with a Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, both from Georgia Tech. During my doctoral studies, I developed a pioneering human recognition software application capable of identifying individuals in surveillance videos. After earning my Ph.D., I contributed to research at Georgia Tech as a postdoctoral fellow, focusing on automatic methods for human activity recognition in video-monitored environments.
In addition to my technical expertise, I am a graduate of Faith Christian Center’s Faith School of Ministry and was licensed through Word of Faith International Christian Center.
Ministry
I pastor Church for Entrepreneurs. We are a global church that guides believers worldwide to know God, follow Jesus, and find freedom, so they can make a difference in the lives of the people and communities they are called to serve through the calling God has placed in their hearts.
Academia
I am the Coca-Cola Endowed Chair of Leadership Studies and an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Morehouse College. My research focuses on pattern recognition algorithms for identifying individuals based on their walking patterns and developing algorithms to detect patterns in video surveillance data. I am committed to delivering high-quality instruction, enhancing the learning process for students, and developing Men of Morehouse into leaders who create a more positive world.
