Over the past four years, I have done extensive research in the area of the Digital Divide and the socio ecomomic impact on minority groups within a North American context. I also work as a senior IT Education Consultant and understand the high level of technological expertise that is required to compete in this technologically savvy world.

Primarily, I firmly believe that if Dominica is going to develop further we need to attract top talent but that can only be achieved if we can develop our technological infrastructure and decrease the digital divide between dveloped and developing countries.

E-mail Address: Contact Management;
I am an Arthur A. Schomburg Fellow presently pursuing a PhD in American Studies at the University at Buffalo. My intended area of specialization is Caribbean Literature - more specifically studies of whiteness and tourism in Caribbean novels of fiction. I am currently completing an independent study on the history of tourism and contemporary tourism in the Caribbean. I have long had an interest in eco-tourism. For the little research I have done, Dominica seems to be an island that has not been bombarded with tourists in the way that other islands have been and there seems to be a serious and genuine commitment to maintaining the eco-systems there. I am curious about how eco-tourism is developing and how it affects local communities. I am also curious as to the reasons why certain tourists choose to come to Dominica and what their experiences are like.

ACADEMICALLY I HAVE LONG BEEN INTERESTED IN THE CARIBBEAN REGION AS IT HAS RELATED TO THE EVOLUTION OF RACE ISSUES IN USA AND THE PROMINENT ROLE OF SO MANY WEST INDIANS IN THAT CONTEXT. A BUSINESS ASSOCIATION WITH BELLO FOR SEVERAL YEARS IN THE EARLY 90'S BROUGHT CONTACTS ON ANOTHER LEVEL OF ASSOCIATION. ALTHOUGH I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN PRIVATE BUSINESS AND CONSULTING FOR THE PAST DECADE OR SO, AN ABIDING INTEREST IS WITH HIGHER EDUCATION.

Many military sponsored academic awards and undergraduate awards. Most recent academic award was University of Chicago Department of Sociology 1999 High Honors, in special fields of Urban Sociology, Political Economy, Community Social Organization, Community Policing, and Communities and Crime Intervention, Qualitative and Quantative Research Methods.
Another note worthy recent academic was as "Community Safety" award given to me by community members of the Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy (CAPS) the contribution that my ongoing research has supposedly made to neighborhood safety in the highest violent crime police district on Chicago's South Side.
Perhaps most interestingly was a January 2000 award that the same organizational members in Chicago gave me for my academic research in what they called "International Peacekeeping" because of my involvement with Community Policing efforts in Dominica (mainly Grand Bay 1996-2000), Tokyo, Japan (1995-96) British Columbia, Canada (1995, 1997) and Chicago (1997 to current).

I will most likely return to academia via the adjunct professor route. As a global commodities trader, I was able to set up with other trade structured finance specialists a financial vehicle whereby those countries with emerging economies are able to buy commodities from my company without having to setup with them CAD or Letters of credit payment terms. I extend to buyers in these countries terms generally up to 180 days. In the interim I am able to shop around the world to sell that 90 or 180 day receivable to a Bank prior to the note maturity. I have researched the economies of Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Argentina, Uruguay to name a few to see if we can extend those can of credit facilities. These countries would have to meet the strict due deligence and reasonable care quotient that we allocate to each country.

Assistant Professor of Law and Society, Department of Sociology, State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo.
Many military sponsored academic awards and undergraduate awards. Most recent academic award was University of Chicago Department of Sociology 1999 High Honors, in special fields of Urban Sociology, Political Economy, Community Social Organization, Community Policing, and Communities and Crime Intervention, Qualitative and Quantative Research Methods.
Another note worthy recent academic was as "Community Safety" award given to me by community members of the Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy (CAPS) the contribution that my ongoing research has supposedly made to neighborhood safety in the highest violent crime police district on Chicago's South Side.
Perhaps most interestingly was a January 2000 award that the same organizational members in Chicago gave me for my academic research in what they called "International Peacekeeping" because of my involvement with Community Policing efforts in Dominica (mainly Grand Bay 1996-2000), Tokyo, Japan (1995-96) British Columbia, Canada (1995, 1997) and Chicago (1997 to current).
