My Core Principle: I do not chase superficial solutions; instead, I embrace the necessary trade-offs that allow me to reveal, not to mention, nurture and cultivate enduring, meaningful, and authentic individual characters.

Global Impact

My work has touched thousands of lives globally, particularly among marginalized groups. At Israel’s ABA Center at Zinman College, I led a Sports Research Program addressing school dropouts and presented the model at the 1999 AIESEP Congress. My work expanded to the ABA Center in Beijing, The European Union, and UNHCR programs in East Africa. In 2024, I initiated the Context-Informed Prevention Strategies (CIPS) model in collaboration with Taking Action for Good (TAG) at the Progressing Under Restraints & Extremes (PURE) Academy in Memphis, TN, and the Desoto County Sheriff’s School Resource Officers Program in Hernando, Mississippi. As TAG’s CIPS lead, I bridge the gap between skillset and mindset, integrating practical behavioral strategies into existing prevention programs – a concept I plan to introduce throughout the different leagues such as the NFL, NBA, MLB, MLS etc. TAG, founded by Ms. Alice Marie Johnson (Pardon Czar-2025), actively serves communities nationwide. My unique background allows me to provide unconventional, cross-cultural, and practical training focused on distinguishing key behavioral components and their triggers. Empowering coaches to more effectively share their social development goals within the community – a claim pursued across the sports world.

My book: The Pains of Adjustment, highlights my dedication and commitment to reforming intervention strategies, punishment, and incarceration concepts, despite facing aversion from a country deeply rooted in tradition and scorns foreign ideas. My innovative approach reflects my belief that creativity knows no bounds. The sky became my limit, literally and figuratively.
