My name is Jack Henderson. I'm a big and tall, ( six-foot-six by 250 pounds ) dark-skinned and ruggedly handsome black man living in the city of Boston, Massachusetts. Sometimes in life, you've got to embrace the changes that come your way. The greatest villain can sometimes turn out to be the greatest hero. That's my motto and it has never failed me. I am currently the Athletic Director of Saint Lucy College, a small private Catholic school located in the heart of Boston. These days, life simply couldn't be better. At a time when everybody was experiencing a financial recession, I managed to have the best fundraiser ever for my school and boost the once-struggling Department of Athletics beyond anyone's wildest dreams. And the school has been better for it.
When I took over as Athletic Director in 2004, I didn't inspire much confidence in the students or the administration. The college president, Father James Hayworth was once my teacher when I attended Saint Lucy College, back in 1996. He is the man who introduced me to my fiancΓ©e, assistant district attorney Shamika Letterman. She was a law student when we met back in 1997. I graduated in 1998 with a bachelor's degree in business and stuck around to get my MBA by 2000. I worked as a manager for the New England Patrolmen Professional Football team from 2001 to 2004.
To be honest, I was a little too good at the job. Other men and women at the company didn't like having me around. I made them all look bad. The suits upstairs weren't paying me enough for my services. And I felt unappreciated. I've always believed that the end justifies the means. So I helped myself a little bit financially. The cold-hearted bastards and bitches who owned the team gave me the choice of quitting or be fired and prosecuted me for embezzlement. They didn't want to prosecute me unless they had to because it would embarrass the company. And it would be a waste of their finances since suing a broke man never made anybody rich. So I did the smart thing and quit. I didn't tell my woman that I lost my job. She wouldn't like hearing that. I was broke, basically blacklisted everywhere and seriously down on my luck for ages. I was ready to give up when the fates smiled upon me. That's when my good friend Father James Hayworth approached me with an offer I couldn't refuse. To become the athletic director of my alma mater. And I was barely out of my twenties. How about that?
