I later attended Fordham University majoring in Economics and Computer Science with a minor in Music. I worked for Merrill Lynch Financial Futures and Options for almost 11 years, loved every minute and learned a world of knowledge. I currently reside in Georgia and employed at Cisco Systems.

Thank you God for your son Jesus Christ and the presence of the Holy Spirit that guides me through lives journey until the day I walk the Golden Streets of Heaven!
