I have found the Will Hunting of Roxbury. His name is Reggie, and he is one of the brightest people I have ever met. I have been impressed, literally, by every word that I have heard him speak.
Reggie has had a very difficult life, growing up in a tough neighborhood in Roxbury. Where he lives, people die too early and are shipped off to prison as if it is normal.
Despite it all, he has maintained. He has a great sense of humor. He is super smart, perceptive and thoughtful. He has a keen understanding of people and of life, and if he had been given more comforts and advantages in life, I am confident he would be at Harvard or some other amazing place leading the way for the rest of us.
Instead, unfortunately, he finds himself like Matt Damon in the movie, a genius yet to be discovered, a young man from a dangerous neighborhood trying to find work in a rotten economy.
If there is anyone out there looking for a genius, or who wants to hire one, or get him a college scholarship, I have your man.

Hope you find a job! What do you do exactly? Are you looking for a scholarship to college or a job?
Hi JR,
I second Bobby's opinion of Reggie. I am also hopeful that Reggie will get a scholarship to college. A job for now would be great too. Reggie has training in security, he is CPR and OSHA certified, and he writes his own music- he's a very talented and creative young man.
If you have any ideas please contact me sbrent@rackemann.com
best,
Sue
