I wear many hats. Father, Preacher, Husband, Funk-Master, Entrepreneur, Geek and Overcomer to name a few. All the advice found on the web, about blogging advises newbie bloggers to seek a niche market. Well as you can see by the many hats I wear, it would be hard for me to narrow my blog down. So I decided, to utilize multiple social streams to address different aspects of my thoughts. With that being said. This is my personal blog. It is not focused on “anything in particular” however, I believe it will reflect my heart, and you will see topics that relate to alot of the things I am passionate about. For the most part I will try and focus on the following categories: How the Bible applies to every day Life (Bible Talk), Technology (Tech Talk), Things I find funny (Funny Talk), Music (Music Talk), and Sports (Sports Talk)

Testimony

Growing up in a household where drugs and violence was a way of life, I was on an imminent course to destruction. Never knowing my biological father, my mother and step father were dope dealers who eventually became addicted to crack cocaine. My brother “AJ” who is five years my elder, became a stabilizing force in my life. Even though he was also a drug dealer, who had numerous employees as a teenager, he persuaded me with these words. “If I ever catch you out here in these streets, you’re gonna catch a beat down, on the spot.” So, naturally being afraid of my older brother I didn’t try to cross him. My stablizing force was soon incarcerated, by the time I turned 16, and my homelife by this point, had greatly deteriorated due to drug abuse. I entered a great depression, and began to live my life as if nothing mattered. Through my aunt’s prompting I embarked on a life of higher education, 300 miles away @ Jarvis Christian College. She told me that there was nothing for me in my old neighborhood, and I knew she was right. All my homeboys were either dead, in jail, or fast on their way to being dead, or back in jail. So I decided to go to school, but I was soon kicked out of school for being involved in a fight, where a student pulled a gun on me and some friends. Well, atleast I made it through one semester of school, right? By age 19, I had seen enough death, destruction and heartache to last a few lifetimes, and was looking for a way out. After a couple of near death experiences, I decided that the present path he was going down, would lead to death, or prison, where most of my life-long friends were.

I married my high school friend, turned sweetheart, and started working in the housekeeping department of a Hotel, while starting a family. I saw computers as a way to provide for my now growing family, and a way for my wife to be able to stay at home with the children. I taught myself various technologies, and a few years later I became a software engineer. Armed with a entreprenerial spirit, and a gift to teach, he started Praz Multimedia, with the focus on impacting lives.

I now live in Austin, Texas with a wonderful family of 4 kids, and an awesome God fearing wife. (Thank You Jesus) Over the years I have embarked on many business ventures, primarily focusing on technology. I continue to strive to make an impact in the world, through the vehicles God has provided for me. This story is still being written, follow me and this blog, as we see it unfold together.
