In 1985, I learned how to be successful at finding my own ancestors with the assistance of the spirit. Later, I combined that knowledge with the knowledge of how to successfully create social media groups for the purpose of answering genealogical questions. Today, we are the force for solving many tough challenges. My patrons have successfully gone on to tackle even harder questions.

I was a FamilySearch Missionary (2007-2014). Putting forth a great pioneering effort to share my knowledge on social platforms not originally used to disseminate genealogical information, I was among the first to use Pinterest for genealogy. I was selected as Family Tree Magazine's "Social Media Mavericks: 40 to Follow" in 2014.

I work to assist patrons of all colors with their ancestry. I am the co-founder and owner of Genealogy Just Ask at www.genealogyjustask.com (main Facebook Group with over 64,000 members: https://www.facebook.com/groups/GenealogyJustAsk).

I am a member of the South Carolina Genealogical Society - Columbia Chapter. On February 28, 2015, and 2018, and February 2021, I presented at the Wisconsin Black Historical Society. I served as a volunteer at the Lawrence Local History and Genealogy Room of the Greenwood County Library, and the Greenwood, SC Family History Center director.

On February 1, 2020, I presented Easily Finding My Union County, SC African American Ancestors for Rose Hill Plantation, in Union, South Carolina and Easily Finding My African American Ancestor a keynote address for the African American Family History Day at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Goldsboro, NC on February 22, 2020.

In October 2020, I taught Researching through Time Periods to Find Your African American Ancestors for the Charleston, South Carolina's Family History from a Distance Workshop, and I presented Genealogy Tips from a Pinterest Social Media Maverick to the Milwaukee County Genealogy Society.

As of December 2020, I am actively compiling the research and history of Ervin James at Jamestown in Florence County, South Carolina on behalf of Jamestown Foundation. In March 2021, I presented How I Found My 3rd Great Grandmother to the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society, Inc. New Jersey Chapter.

I taught Researching on FamilySearch.org for the Grand Strand Genealogy Club of Myrtle Beach, SC on April 10, 2021. I have noticed giving presentations by Zoom has really increased the number of patrons who attend.
