My life started in the ghetto of Roxbury, Massachusetts, a mile away from the drug-infested neighborhood where Bobby Brown came up.
How? People always ask me: "Why, after 17 years, did you return from the paradise of Costa Rica to the U.
S.?" This is my true story..
Deepak Chopra, who contacted me and invited my wife and I to join him at his private lunch with the presidential candidate of Costa Rica during his one-day conference.
After 20 years in the world of high technology, I became disillusioned with corporate life and moved with my family to Costa Rica, where I had the pleasure of meeting a man named Dr.
I attended the University of Massachusetts and a computer electronics class at Benjamin Franklin Institute, where IBM hired me.
All I could do was to try to hold on.
This was the point where I had to begin to navigate my path mostly on my own, as my mother\'s knowledge and experience regarding my new world was very limited.
After I won the Boston Mayor\'s Award for academics when I graduated from the sixth grade, my mother colluded with a white family to put me on an academic and cultural Rocketship.
Despite all her struggles, my mother did everything in her power to give me an academic edge.
A lot of our food and Christmas toys came from the government.
My mother struggled every day to feed us-I\'m sure many times not feeding herself.
My mother had five children, one of whom died in early childhood.
My father left our family when I was one.
