Is he the next Obama?

He has established himself as an entrepreneur, speaker, author, scholar, and community servant.

A "serial entrepreneur", he also previously launched four socially responsible business ventures.

First, selling compact discs and cassette tapes out of his dormitory in college and using the proceeds to fund high school outreach activities, where it later evolved into his second venture; a firm committed to providing the highest caliber training and development for emerging and seasoned professionals.

Third, he co-founded a multi-disciplinary consulting firm that specialized in the unique needs of inner city communities. And fourth, an organization with a mission to ensure that affordable housing was equipped for the 21st century by implementing innovative, sustainable, broadband network and telecommunications solutions.

A sought after public speaker for corporate, youth and community groups, he has been featured on nationally televised programs such as The Today Show, Live with Regis and Kelly, and CNN, as well as featured in Parade magazine, The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Boston Globe.

He holds five academic degrees including the last, where he made history as the first African-American ever to receive a Rhodes Scholarship at Rutgers University.

He is also a published writer and academic scholar, where he is currently co-authoring a book with his Rutgers roommate and business partner, tentatively entitled, Black Faces in White Places, which chronicles their experiences as African Americans who have successfully navigagted predominantly white institutions.

He maintains an active involvement in community service and is a national spokesperson for Autism Speaks, the National Black MBA Association (Gold Key Access events), New Jersey Reads ("Change a Life Through Literacy" campaign) and Junior Achievement of New York (Groundhog Job Shadow Day program).

And, of course, he is the winner of the Apprentice Season 4.
