- Relationship Status:
- Single
- About Me:
- I am the Pool Operation Coordinator for The City of Fort Lauderdale. I am a former Ocean Rescue Lt. Lifeguard for 16 years at The City of Pompano Beach. During that time I was the only African-American in that position on the entire east coast. I am currently the Vice President of Every Child a Swimmer, Inc. This is a Kwanis International sponsored program. I am founding Director for the county-wide water safety program called Swim Central. Last year Swim Central taught over 29,000 kids to swim in Broward County Florida. The City of Fort Lauderdale taught 15,000 of that number. Most of the kids were African American students that were brought over from local elementary school during the school day. I participated along with Errol Duplessis in creating the American Red Cross GuardStart program. This is a remake of the old Junior Lifeguard program. I am an expert witness for CPR and water safety issues. I am a Instructor Trainer in Water Safety, Emergency Response, Lifeguard Training, and BLS/CPR. I am currently a adjucnt instructor at Ball State University for the annual aquatic school and I am working with Bruce Wigo, CEO of The International Swimming Hall of Fame on the history of African people in aquatics.
