- 08/13/21 06:16 PM
I write this post with a heavy heart but also with a sense of duty, civic freedom, and righteous indignation. I feel the need to share this as things are simply getting out of hand.

Recently, I am under heavy fire from a fellow broker in my town who sent a letter to a local media outlet claiming my doctorate is illegitimate because it is from a small religious seminary.
