​

Back in the early 1990's Samuel was in a rap group called Poetry n

Motion and later release a solo EP entitled "Unclesam". This gave

same exposure to another world and the education needed when

negotiating contracts, performing in front of large crowds, and

brand awareness. These learnings stuck as Samuel transitioned into the world of comic books.

​

Born in Brooklyn, NY and one of four children raised by their mother Maria. Most of his life was in Queens, NY where the community was  so diverse and rich in culture and multi ethnic influences allowing Samuel to learn from and appreciate all kids of food, music, fashion and people. 

​

Samuel grew up during Saturday morning cartoons and weekend Kung-Fu flicks. When outdoors, he and his friends would race dirt bikes, play sports, and do what young boys did and get in trouble. 

​

                                                      If you knew Samuel, you would say he was a visionary.                                                       Known for BIG Dreams and even bigger lectures; at                                                           least that's what his friends would say. Samuel has                                                           always been a story teller. Somehow he would start                                                           telling a story and without realizing it, you were                                                                 captivated enough to want to know the ending. This                                                         was one of the characteristics which set him apart                                                             From everyone else in the neighborhood.  

​

Samuel was an aspiring rap artist whose plans were changed due to circumstances in his life. Samuel has lost friends to street violence, crime, drugs and is no stranger to hardships himself. Losing his mom at the age of 19 devastated Samuel enough to leave the music business and go off on his own. Samuel being the man of the home, survived with his younger sister, her baby and brother who could not work. 

​

No knowing where his life would go, Samuel focused 

on work and fitness as he tried to find what his true

passion was. Samuel met his wife Desiree who 

encouraged him to persue his passion and go back

to school for graphic design. In 2003, CrazeeComics

was formed and thus the beginning of an exciting

journey.

​

The company disbanded and Samuel left the comic world and podcasting for several years. In 2019, Samuel would find the motivation and drive enter the game again. This time around, Samuel is more determined than ever to achieve the goals he set for himself.
