He mentored aspiring young men in local communities through basketball, and in 201611e wrote his first book "Success is Bibli­cal". Gerald was a man of few words, but when he spoke his words were powerful and full of meaning. 

 

Gerald decided to move to Columbia, South Carolina in pursuit of his as­pirations. Before starting his own businesses, he was employed at South Carolina Mentor, as a Program Director. Gerald was the owner of sever­al businesses such as; Top Level Training Academy (along with partner Derrick Crawford), owner of Top Level Inspires (Moti ational Speak­ing), and finally Owner of Top Level Logistics at the time of his passing.
