Hailing from the beautiful island of Barbados where I was a primary school teacher, I emigrated to the USA as a young boy where I quickly changed careers and joined the banking industry where I worked for Chase Bank for several years. My last job before retirement was as a Quality Assurance Analyst for Mastercard in St Louis, Missouri My love and passion of writing led me to join a Youth group in Brooklyn, NY where I was instrumental in writing many skits and plays for them. My first book was Called "Growing Up Bajan" which chronicled my life and early memories in and of Barbados. After living and working for several years in New York, I relocated to Georgia with my wife Zola Faye-Walkes. My burning passion to continue writing has been heightened by retirement and my desire to succeed in this field.
