BIOGRAPHY; A BRIEF PROFILE - It was 1955 when I came into the world of mankind as a baby child born to Essel and Venishie Cole in Houston, Texas. I began my sojourn with the usual formalities of the social, religious, political, educational system processes for conditioning, conforming, growing and developing my mind, body and soul to be an American. The accepted norms of societies fragmented approaches towards cultivating my personality enabling me to choose a future career and/or occupation worthy of citizenship. I went from kindergarten through sixth grade at Mabel B. Wesley Elementary School, then to M.C. Williams Jr. & Sr. High School in Acres Home, an all Negro subdivision in Houston, nicknamed 'Acres Shakers' one of a few designated plantations.

The world of chaos and confusion bombarded every nuance of my human capacity to graduate in 1974 from High School and to be granted a full time scholarship to attended Carnegie-Mellon University, Theatre Department - School of Performing Arts, Pittsburgh, PA, where I continued my institutional education for four intensive, demanding and challenging years. This is where the extraordinarily complicated reality of societies complexities affected my psychological, emotional, intellectual and physical self evoking a full fledge determination to embrace truth, honesty, character an integrity in life. I was trained and prepared in various ways to become a professional actor for a very competitive show business arena where guarantees and/or promises for gainful employment towards achieving, "The American Dream", a success story was not a consideration.

Upon completion of all academic requirements for graduation with outstanding merit, I continued my sojourn to New York City in 1978, 'The Big Apple', where through many opportunities I immediately became acclimated to the extreme methods of survival until I finally obtained membership as a professional working actor in the performing arts unions: "The Actors' Equity Association", "The American Federation of Television and Radio Artist" and "The Screen Actors Guild". Of course, expectations for greater accomplishments through my motivation to succeed in this occupation were intensely met with the standard resistances by the guardians of privilege. The road wasn't paved with gold but cobble stones, which I have grown to appreciate as I proceeded to unfold my life's intent and purpose. In the 1980's I parlayed my theatrical endeavors with personal computers and a the growth decade for material and financial success.

The great opportunities I encountered led me to becoming an entrepreneur by 1983 with the advent of my first corporation for personal career and business management for professional actors called, Harco Mgmt., Inc. (HMI). Then the proliferation of the Apple Macintosh in the Corporate World, especially with computer graphics, enticed HMI in 1987 to create a subsidiary company called, MacTemp, Inc., to produce and work with high-end professional Macintosh Computer Consultants/Operators for the Macintosh Computer Temporary Employment Market. These successes inspired acquiring and forming other subsidiary companies: MacTemp II, Inc., Creative Innovations, Inc. both in Pittsburgh, PA and MacTemp New Jersey, Inc. to cover the neighboring state market's supply and demand. As a Principal Owner I held offices of Chairman, EVP & VP, employing and managing approximately 500 employees and independent contractors serving a corporate client base of 200+ companies including many of the Fortune 500. Within 3 years the collective revenues from these corporations went from barely over 100 thousand dollars in 1987 to well exceed 3 million dollars in 1989 before the deep recession resulting from the '89 market crash that overtook the corporate world and forced major changes and dissolution to occur within the service industry at large early in 1990.

Like all great climbs up the ladder to the top of the heap, decline was an inevitability especially for entrepreneurial cash intensive, independently supportive businesses during the trickled down economic recession/depression era. I closed doors, dissolved all ties with corporate America, suffered the consequences and changed direction 180 degrees in 1991. I took a rather lengthy sabbatical to recap, recoup and regroup my created reality by traveling throughout the world. It was during that time I decided to return to acting, directing, producing in film, television and stage productions.

Since August 2004 thru August 2008, in addition to creative careers endeavors, I have been living and working in the Washington DC Metropolitan Area [And journeyed to and from Los Angeles & New York when work required], redefining and refining my new business venture, "Colveyco Communications Productions, Inc." via developing, producing, exhibiting and promoting the ArtWorks and Poetry by JV Harvey, 'The Evolutionary Expressionism of Life Energy'. CCPI has also been consulting with professional and business career management organizations and individuals regarding their particular thrust in the world at large; various educational institutions specified below; creating training programs for people entering into and dealing with the multidimensional realities of experiencing the world civilization; extracting, orchestrating and conducting inspirational, self-reliant/esteem/motivational outlets, workshops activation; seminars encouraging creative careers, personal growth and developmental techniques, approaches and materials; while compiling, formulating and writing these lifetime observations, perspectives and perceptions regarding Being Human as the ultimate freedom!

The amazing experiences I've magnatized unto my Human Being come forth from daily living via contact with kindred spirits working together over the previous five years on the east coast; University Medical Educational Training Institutions/Schools with their enrollment of hundreds of students preparing for a place in the world, as well as creating innummerable poses for Artists as my Art Modeling career evolved into a network of great success. The most prestigious and masterfully attended art program institutions, studio group and independent classes/workships with massive ArtWorks being done by Artists display their evolutinary expressions of life energy throughout the eastern region. Although the interweaving of the varying dynamics of creative endeavors are demanding, I feel the strength of command to go with the flow and allow the natural course to happen spontaneously. After all, this is life and it does what it does infinitely. The well intergrated points of interplay bring the single most important element of Being Human and that is LIFE! Uncontrollable, Incredible, Unknowing LIFE with every aspect of creation alive and flourishing regardless of the duality undertaken to grasp and understand it. This is the magnificence of fully living the LIFE.

NOW, September 2008, I've arrived home, here to Los Angeles, California with my partner for an indefinite period of projected time to fulfill our new, refreshing, innovative and visionary enthusiaism to transcend all that we do in the service of 'All That Is'. Through direct and indirect interconnectedness, CCPI business ventures are currently surmounting the great tasks of opening doors and windows of the mind that will further assist in transforming Human consciousness into its Divine and Radiant Being as 'The Evolutionary Expressionism of Life Energy' prevails.

I am continuing vivaciously to unlearn the learned, explore horizons beyond the known, investigate the evidence of dying as the equivalent to living, discover more about this profound ease and grace through detachment and evolve as one complete whole within all of creation as transparent essense upon this sojourn. I am merely passing through the inflective reflective lens during this time and space here and now!
