He is the managing partner of CLE Consulting Firm and serves on the board of directors for the YMCA of Greater Cleveland, Cleveland Clinic South Pointe Hospital, Cleveland Public Library Foundation, Step Forward Today, the National Board of Economic Empowerment of the 100 Black Men in America, Inc., and Business Volunteers Unlimited.
