A Life Cut Too Short. A Cause That Will Never Die.

Along with the entire world, one of my closest friends and co-founders, Dwight "Dewey" Skyers, is a direct beneficiary of a man we celebrate today. As a Baptist preacher, Dr. Martin Luther King's life's work was the elevation of civil rights for oppressed African Americans. I doubt I'd be in business with Dewey today had he not so peacefully and greatly impacted our society for fairness, for what is right, and what is good.

Immigrating from Jamaica to Brooklyn when he was 7, Dewey served with distinction in the Navy for 28 years where he was entrusted with some of our nation's most sensitive secrets.  Along with being a brilliant broker associate REATLOR®, a wonderful friend and neighbor to many, loving partner to Stephen, patriotic American—and the funnest guy to ever catch a Gator or Jaguar game with—we probably wouldn't be working together if not for Dr. King's sacrifice years ago. 

Thank you Dr. King. We're carrying on what you started and I'm lucky to have Dewey as a partner. Although we've come a long way from where you began, we're not there yet, but we'll get there. 

A life cut too short. A cause that will never die.
