The journey from the Unity Projects of East New York to building a multi-agent AI empire connected to a quantum computer.
Born in Brooklyn, NY in 1983 — the youngest of three brothers, son of a Haitian immigrant father and a Gullah Geechee mother from South Carolina. I grew up between the Unity Projects of East New York and the Kingsborough Projects, where resilience wasn’t a virtue: it was the default setting.
At John Jay High School I excelled as both student and athlete — interning at a law firm, captaining JV basketball, and making varsity as a sophomore. I later moved to Willingboro, NJ, where I continued school and began to sharpen the ambition that had already been clear for years: I was going to build, lead, and inspire.
In 2007 I began an 8-year court battle with the State of New Jersey — nine separate cases, racially targeted, facing a combined 20 years in prison. In 2015 I emerged victorious as a pro-se litigant, representing myself. All nine cases, all charges, dismissed. This was the crucible that forged the builder.
At 18, a nonprofit for at-risk youth. At 19, an e-commerce business that pioneered wholesale and dropshipping. A record label at 20. An investment company at 23. A historical society at 25 that reached 266,000+ people. By 30, 20+ published books.
In 2008 I represented an international organization at the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, presenting on sustainable farming and smart cities. In 2021 I was a special guest entrepreneur at Dubai Expo. That same year I founded a Climate Tech company. In 2024 I launched a wealth management firm and became an AI Solution Architect.
Along the way I traveled to more than ten countries across Africa, the Middle East, the Caribbean, and Europe — building business relationships and shaping a global perspective on how technology, business, and culture intersect.
Faith-driven and vision-forward. My mission is to leverage AI, quantum computing, and emerging technology to eliminate poverty, build sustainable smart cities, transform Africa into a global innovation hub, and create systems where technology serves humanity.
Since reverting to Islam in 2010, faith has been the compass guiding every business decision — rooting all work in principles of justice, equity, compassion, and service. Every venture, every system, every line of code is in service of a larger purpose: aligning human progress with divine guidance.
