My name is Patrick L. Chapman and I'm 38 years old residing in Fort Worth TX, but born and raised in Queens New York. I'm a recently retired veteran (U.S. Navy) of 20 years. I'm a traveling man both mentally and physically and I like to network. I don't own a business yet but I plan to some day. The economy is bad and gas is high and I'm debating whether I want to go to work or not....then my wife pinched me and I woke up. Nice to meet all of you.

Welcome again, Patrick. Glad to have you here. Hope your arm heals soon... lol. Looking forward to meeting you one day.; ▶ Reply to This

My name is Lori LaShawn Brown. Those who know me well call me "LaShawn." I am a 39 year old entrepreneur from Waco, Texas. I own and operate a company called "One in a Billion Consulting."

I do a few things in my company, however, the united theme in all of my tasks is to be of service to others. I do so by facilitating a wonderfully enlightening and engaging diversity appreciation model that I co-created called "Everybody Matters." I do the trainings on-site and do much of the marketing from home, events, conferences, etc.

I also help Texas based businessess (in deregulated cities) save money on electricity by having several electric companies bid for their business. This costs the business nothing to check out.

Additionally, I work as a recruiter for nationwide jobs for an Executive Search firm called Mosaic Blueprint. I love helping people and believe that it's why God put us here, to be of service to one another.

I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible and hope you will let me know how I may indeed be of service to you.

Peace, love and abundant blessings to you,
LaShawn; ▶ Reply to This
