Hey there! I’m Maurice, a seasoned marketing professional, tech enthusiast, hip-hop head, and most importantly, a dedicated family man. Born and raised in California, I’ve got that West Coast DNA. Want to know where I stand in the generational timeline? Let’s just say my first theatrical experience was watching Optimus Prime get merc’d in “The Transformers: The Movie.” Yeah, that animated trauma from ’86 shaped a whole generation of us. My journey has taken me from the Golden State to the Midwest, then to Texas, and back to Cali, before finally settling in Dallas. It’s been a coast-to-coast adventure, and I’m bringing all those experiences to the table.

My Story

My life has been a series of adventures, both personal and professional. After stints in St. Louis and Dallas, I spent seven years soaking up the California sun with my wife. During that time, our family grew with the addition of our two amazing children.Our daughter, born in 2021, is a bundle of energy and curiosity. She keeps us on our toes with her antics and her ever-growing vocabulary of silly words. Our son, born in 2023, is already showing signs of being a little comedian, with a laugh that can light up the whole room. Watching these two grow and interact is like having our own personal comedy show every day. These little ones have changed my world in ways I never imagined. They’ve made me sillier, more patient, and have given me a whole new appreciation for nap time – theirs and mine!
