About (request update)

My love of my people then others. It allows me to travel and mingle in almost any environment. Including going to a city where I know "no One". Then hitting the clubs and socializing without the fear of someone robbing or doing harm to me. Black people seem to take good care of me and it is my turn to give back.

My Interview Question

What made you choose academia as a source for inner development ?

Current Whereabouts:

Book writing, building gadgets, public speaking, Mentoring programming for youth, vocational education for youth, political science

Life & Professional Aspirations:

Would like to do some high tech things in specific countries in Africa. Those that are not engulfed in a civil war and have an affinity for technological advancement. My experiences in power distribution, manufacturing and waste water treatment would be priceless in Africa....just working the details, so written a book.

Education (request update)

Michigan St Univ class of 1990

Undergrad Major: Electrical Engineering

Claim To Fame:

Small time country boy from Michigan to nuclear engineer having designed and programmed multiple automation manufacturing solutions, probably puts my feather in my hat. Traveled to Egypt and stayed at the Nile Hilton downtown Cairo. That was a very momentous ocassion in my life. There, I visited the tombs of great black Kings and went into the body of the Pyramids in Giza. Have worked at a significant number of very large companies in my professional engineering career including General Electric, Sperry, Control Data, IBM and TIMKEN. At these companies and working in the capacity of Controls Engineer or Application Engineer or Power Engineer, have built countless automation process machinery.

Most Memorable Moment:

My parents and siblings coming to East Lansing to visit me on the weekends and all of us going ice skating on campus or to the horticultural gardens. Then showing them around the campus...at times discovering places for the first time myself. Selling middle eastern tapestries to fellow students to hang on walls in dorms.

High School: Clintondale High School in Mt. Clemens, MI class of 1980

Activities & Accomplishments:

4-year Academic Scholarship to Michigan State University Director of educational charity, Africa on Wheels, Inc. with a mission of mentoring youth about math and science careers and administrative su

Best Memories:

Running for president of the Student Council my senior year. Though, my competitor won, it was so thrilling running and making speeches. Then, also, I made so many friends....and the teachers were so happy that I had the nerve to run against a known champion, so to speak....yet, came so close to winning

Experience

I currently work with PSEG Nuclear as Principal Electrical Engineer
I have 35 years of experience working in the Engineering industry.

Activity

Why Are You Concerned About Black America:

Black America is unique in that America hosts the finest and most academically astute colleges and universities in the world. Many of the graduates of these halls of higher learning has been Black Americans. This means that the brightest and most capable black folk on the planet happen to be located in America. The problem is that there is no unity and cultural cohesion to harness this potential energy that the black American mass possess. It is my concern and interest to tap into this energy and utilize it for the greater good including harnessing a filtered mass for a government of our own.

	As-Salaam Alaikum My Brother, just dropping by to thank you for adding me as a friend. I am in the process of purchasing your book as well. I enjoy reading your blog postings, keep them coming! Love and Peace From New Orleans, Sister Siebra Tagged by Siebra Muhammad on 02/17/2010

	Next you live in a system where all information is processed by using sybolism. Black is bad and White is good. This really is a divide and conquer game that will separate the rich and poor. What am I trying to say? Your greatest friend and your greatest enemy is your own thoughts. How have you processed this information, that believe black men are such a terrible thing? I want you to look in the mirror and say that to your self and look in your eyes and feel the power of that thought. 2010 is a great time to question your belief system as any. Have a great year my brother! Tagged by Cynthia Polk on 01/10/2010

	Jamal, my brother you are not even close to what the real problem is. First, every black man has a mother that taught him as much as any one person on this planet. Tagged by Cynthia Polk on 01/10/2010
