Daniel Ramsey was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is a man who survived the harsh world of gangs, drugs and imprisonment. Until he was removed from the furious lifestyle of power and pain that he was accustomed to, he believed that there was only one life - an existence governed by the laws and rules of the streets. For him, street knowl- edge was the answer to any and every relationship. During his twelve years of confinement, Daniel studied various scriptures and began to grow internally. He began to see and acknowledge that life was bigger than he was taught. Though he took no lives, his crime brought him to the same point of realization as that of Nobel Prize nominee Stanley (Tookie) Williams who was portrayed by Jamie Foxx in the movie, "Redemption." Daniel believes that God spared his life in the streets to enlighten him and empower him with the ability to bring many books to frui- tion and aid others in their search for inner-meaning.
