After 32 years in the IT industry working for Chemical Bank and JPMorgan Chase & Co. I decided take a buyout to pursue business and personal endeavors. This Web site is one of one of those endeavors.

The idea for the BlackProfessionalWeb grew out of my frustration with the negative images of African Americans that are portrayed in the majority news media across the United States. Our children and young adults see the faces of African Americans who have been accused of wrongdoings plastered on their television screens and in newspapers on a daily basis. However, they rarely see the many success stories about the African Americans who are running large companies and corporations, overseeing major medical operations, making great strides educating our children and so on.

My goal with this Web site is to spotlight a subset of the untold thousands of African Americans who are not well-known but are making a difference in their chosen professions. I've taken it upon myself to seek them out and present their biographies on the BlackProfessionalWeb to share with you.

These Black professionals will leave a legacy of pride and hope for our children and their children if we all do our part. With this Web site I am attempting to do my part by sharing this information with you, my business associates, friends, my sons and my grandchildren. I hope you will do the same.

Sincerely,

Anthony M. Evans, Sr.
