David J. Hudson -
Author, Poet, Entrepreneur
He was born on
June 8, 1967 in Birmingham, Alabama.
As a child, he grew up in Avondale Projects in Birmingham.
His family lived in public housing for thirteen years before moving into a
house of their own.
He’s the ninth of thirteen children and the first in the family to
receive a college degree. He
graduated from Whatley
Elementary School
in 1981 and Phillips
High School
in 1985. After graduating from
high school, he enlisted in the United States Army for four years.
In the U.S. Army, he had the opportunity to tour the Republic
of
South Korea and the former West Germany.
He considers his tenure in the military an invaluable experience that he’ll
treasure the rest of his life.
After departing from the military in June of 1989,
he immediately enrolled in night school while maintaining a full time job.
He discovered his talent for writing poetry in March of 1992 while
completing a stressful quarter at
Birmingham-Southern
College
and working a full-time job at The Birmingham-Housing Authority.
At one point he wrote forty poems within a two week period.
Being a person of action, after graduating from college in March of
1993, he self-published his very own book of poetry entitled
" The Start of Something New. "
His focus is to bring an inspiring and positive
message to those exposed to his poetry.
He recites poetry and gives positive pep talks to
youth, different groups and organizations when invited to do so.
It is David’s goal to touch every person he can with his poetry and
hopefully inspire them to fulfill their dreams and to never settle for less.
He believes that his poetry has the potential to inspire millions.
The time is ripe!
In 1998, he published his second book of
inspirational poetry entitled
" When A
Dream Comes True. "
He relocated to Atlanta ,
GA in 1998.
In 1999, he developed an inspirational and
motivational web site
www.ThinkVeryBIG.com.
He also opened the doors to TVB,
Think Very BIG. He came up with
the words “Think Very BIG,” because it’s the way he thinks in life.
He wants everyone to have big dreams, big ideas, set goals etc.
On the web site you can read inspiring poems written solely by David J.
Hudson and order a nicely framed poster.
He also sells motivational framed and matted
posters and plaques to businesses, churches, schools and individuals alike.
Everyone can use some inspiration sometimes, including myself, he says.
