OUR CONVERSATION:

Trademark: The Insurance Brotha who will make sure you’re covered like no otha!

What is SEXY about a woman and what is NOT: My wife is the only SEXY woman, period. There is nothing not sexy about her. Except when she doesn’t laugh at my jokes. That’s not sexy at all!

On who cooks the best: My daughter cooks the best garlic grilled cheese sandwiches.

Greatest achievement: Being a father that’s always there for my children and God-children, seeing them grow into successful young men and women is the only achievement that matters outside of being a great husband to my wife.

Do you have a mentor and who helped shaped your values in life? Sheila Moody, the Real Estate Guru and one of 2022 Sac Hub EWOC-Exceptional Women of Color Honorees. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be where I’m at without her and the opportunity she blessed me with almost 6 years ago. I approached her at the time looking to establish a business relationship where we could help educate each other’s clients. The blessing I didn’t expect was her recommending I join the Sacramento Realtist Association. I’m glad she presented that opportunity to me, being a vital member of the group alongside some other awesome individuals has been one my true joys, and it feels so good fighting for democracy in housing for my people. Thanks again for all you do Sheila. If you know anyone looking for guidance on how to purchase or refinance a home make sure to look up my girl Sheila Moody.

Defining a Black man in Leadership: Someone who takes the time to master his craft, once he’s reached the level of mastery takes the time to help the next in line master their craft. Remember iron sharpens iron!

I am COMMITTED to: Growing a family banking system concept within our community..... and why ... because not only do we need generational wealth, but we also need generational education and financial road maps to leave behind to the next generations of our family. So that every generation is in a better position than the prior and we don’t lose our financial positioning and knowledge within a few generations.

On GOOD HEALTH MATTERS:

Do you see the doctor for annual exams? Yes

Do you see the need for exercise at least 3 days week? Yes, I hit the gym consistently. Weights, Cardio, and Rehabbing these Mid-30 knee aches… lol

Do you see the need to change your diet plan and if so share with how this has helped you with maintaining and/or improving your overall health? My diet is pretty good I do Intermittent fasting and try only to eat natural foods. I do have times where I slip and eat a few oreos. Watching my diet has been critical, you have to be healthy to keep up with 3 children.

Best advice for young black men trying to find their way to succeed in school, pursue a career, avoid gang/gun violence, overcome substance abuse or suicide/depression: Find good role models and people to look up to. I know finding role models/mentors at times can be a struggle. I dealt with this struggle personally. I don’t want them to have to go through that struggle, so feel free to give me a call (916) 476-0792. I’ll do all I can to help be a guide and also get them in touch with some other black men who are willing to help out as well.
