From 1957 to 1961 his family lived in a multi-ethnic neighborhood (a social engineering project) in Cleveland, Ohio. It was there that he and his 7 siblings learned to see people as “people just like us from different cultures,” not races. Since he was age 4 they attended the Church of Christ 3 to 5 days a week.
His family moved into what turned into an African American neighborhood 5 years after their arrival in 1961. By sixteen he began seeing that most people had a problem loving people of other ethnic groups. He relocated to attend California’s ethnically diverse Santa Monica High School and College, earning a business degree. He continued his studies with Music, also becoming a certified computer programmer. But his personal pursuit for answering human behavior questions led to an ongoing 20-year multidiscipline study that included History, Geography, Sociology, and Economics.
He currently lives with his family in southern California and has worked for a major multiethnic corporation for over 29 years.view less
