Born Charlie created Philosophy the unsigned paradigm to poetry, taking flight in my first pair of Nikes when I was nine, first of two born, mother's baby-father son. a sibling to a former Fratt president-poised, even when the temperature tips, and it gets cold as ice out side. passionate about poetry,politics, Angel baseball, generosity,kung fu movies, Chuck Norris, cart wheels, double dutch and trips to Yogurtland. I found poetry in the confines and caverns of Cal. State Long Beach, and have been lost in the word ever since. I have poetry slammed through out the states, staking my claim with the #1 Love Poem in the Nation, co-writng the #1 Political Poem in the Nation, and being the Captain of the #4 Slam Team in the Nation. I have also graced the stage of The Fly Poets Show Case and captivated audiences for the N.A.A.C.P. I was fortunate enough to be chosen on a panel of Judges for the N.A.A.C.P. A.C.T.S.O. National Poetry Competition where students competed for scholarship money for college. Some of my most enjoyable work, is the poetry workshops I have done for the Pasadena School District, Long Beach School District, and the California State University System. When I'm not body slamming poetry on page, wrestling wild alligators, or marathon running on the cement streets of Long Beach; I am being Atlas.... because he is not the only being, able to hold the world on his shoulders, I too am a Titen.
