He is also owner and operator of a marketing franchise, Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing. Over the past thirty-three years, he has served as regional director of human resources, training and development manager and also assisted in HR troubleshooting and facility start-ups in Japan, Mexico, and Vietnam. The middle son of five children born to Alexander and Eunice Monroe, he grew up with good Christian values and work ethics. He attended JC Price High School during the ’60s and received his bachelor of science degree from Livingstone College in Salisbury, North Carolina. A veteran of the United States Marine Corps during the Vietnam era, he credits the marine corps and the lessons he learned during those years for starting his life in the right direction. In the early ’90s, after becoming fed up by the violence and troubled direction of youth during that time, he got involved in mentoring. He was the first mentor for a pilot mentoring program called Mentor at the Gate. He later founded Boys Til’ Men, a mentoring organization that got boys involved in athletic activities while, at the same time, introduced them to Christ. It is his firm belief that mentoring did as much or more for him as it did for the boys.
His community services and awards included the following:
Board of Director for Communities in Schools
Cochairman, Red Cross, Union County
President, Union County Personnel Association
Founder/President, Boys Til’ Men mentoring organization
