City Government's resident academician, Al (as he is commonly referred to), has been visiting scholar, guest lecturer, instructor, assistant professor at University of Illinois, University of South Alabama and Xavier University in L.A. Twelve years ago, this native Mobilian descended from the Ivory Tower to become the executive assistant to the Mayor of New Orleans where he was known as "the glue" that kept the administration and council together, on key issues.

After receiving an associate degree at Mobile's Bishop State Community College, AL earned a B.S. from a Dallas College and a Master's in Public Administration from the University of Illinois where he was a doctoral candidate.

As Mayor Jones' "Chief of Staff", Al is in charge of "anything the Mayor says he's in charge of". The executive directors report to him and he is responsible for inter-as well as intra-governmental relations.
