Age: 56
Hometown: Los Angeles
Current Residence: Los Angeles
Occupation: Publishing CEO
Personal Claim to Fame: My family, particularly my children and who they are as human beings, followed by my business and entrepreneurial conquests which include becoming the first African American in a corporate position at the L.A. Times (LAT) to be a Dual-Director as Director of Inside Sales at LAT and Director of Advertising for the Recycler, a separate L.A. Times owned media business, and later launching the largest black-owned circulating newspaper on the West Coast, Our Weekly, and starting my ecommerce business, a natural and organic skincare line.
Hobbies: Roller skating, traveling (live concerts and plays), and creating things (natural skincare, soaps, cleansers).
Pet Peeves: People who are negative. People who talk too much listen too little and “can’t bust a grape.” People who tend to say no before they consider “the yes.” People who are quitters as they are too lazy, ignorant or a combination thereof to do better. People who lack motivation but want others to make things happen for them. Sagging pants on young men. When my employees make silly errors that cost me revenue and lastly, when people sign up for things and are not fully committed, thereby negatively impacting results.
If You Could Have 3 Things on the Island What Would They Be and Why? Sunglasses: will give me the ability to see things, while hiding my eyes. Body Pillow: can serve as a mini mattress, warmth and comfort. Swiss knife: it does it all…right?
SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: It’s very hard to pick only one, but I would say Kim Spradin. I operate a lot like Kim as we are logical, strategic and calculating but, I’d like to think I would bring more excitement to the game than she did that season as it was a bit predictable.
