Happy 21st Birthday to my son Zedekiah 🤍

Watching you grow into the man you are today has been one of my greatest joys. You’ve always carried yourself with focus and discipline, and now it shows. As a senior in college with a strong GPA, you’ve proven that hard work, consistency, and sacrifice pay off. You didn’t just talk about goals you executed.

And this summer, earning your real estate license? That told me everything I needed to know about your mindset. You’re building early, thinking long-term, and laying a foundation most people don’t start until much later. That’s legacy thinking.

As you turn 21, I want you to know how proud I am not just of what you’ve achieved, but of who you are. Stay humble, stay hungry, and keep God first. The world is opening up for you, and I can’t wait to see what you do next.

I love you more than words can say. Always in your corner.

Dad

I remember being in GMA construction office with Cornelius Griggs and he told me about a RFP with Cook County. He let me know that there was about 20 days left and that I should have already been working on this. I was extremely intimidated at the amount of paperwork that needed to be filled out and completed but, I buckled down and did it. It was the first RFP proposal that I’ve ever done in my life and I was worn out. The proposal was over 500 pages and I needed to have one master and five copies. The day before I submitted it, I only slept 2 hours from working all night. Coincidently, I was in a strategic partnership class with Clark Construction and the project that we were working on in the class was how to present a full and complete RFP proposal. I took everything that I learned in that class and applied the new information I was receiving. While my cohort was working on a mock RFP I was completing a real RFP for Cook County. This journey of entrepreneurship has not been sweet cakes and apple pie for me, it is been warfare and a journey. However, hard work does pay off, so don’t stop and don’t quit. God’s promises are true and amen, he doesn’t lie. If he said it it will come to pass. Just keep believing and don’t stop grinding. Today I signed my master agreement contract with the Housing Authority of Cook County as a task order contractor.
