Bio
I like to think I’m a renaissance man. Born and raised in Baton Rouge, most of my career has been surrounding the following fields — education, community outreach and communication practices.
In 2012, I co-founded 2BRokeGuys, a group that advocated for community organizations through social media promotion, public speaking and project management. Two years later, I put most of my energies into JWH, LLC where we focus on helping clients achieve their goals through communication.
I hold a bachelor’s degree in mass communication and a minor in Spanish, from LSU; and have begun my master’s.
Emergenetics
Emergenetics is a measurable, proven way to recognize and apply thinking and behavior patterns people use regularly, through personality assessments. I’m certified to facilitate sessions for corporations, schools and individuals. Emergenetics is great for retreats, onboarding new employees and career monitoring.
Weight Loss
Personally, my biggest accomplishment has to be losing over 260lbs. I subscribe to this journey as a marathon and not a sprint. I hope to inspire others along the way.
