Founder /CEO of  Glory Ave Entertainment. Born and raised in the Soundview  section of the Bronx. Admiral (pronounced Add-morale) regarded as one the NYC's best up and coming lyricists and well as one of its  bright  young business minds. A former local hoop star, who began his journey rapping as a simple hobby to past the time,  freestyling in cyphers in his old neighborhood  before eventually being convinced by his peers that his flow was a force to be reckoned with soon after joining an up and coming  rap group named BXC.  Shortly after he appeared on BET's first annual Hip Hop hall of fame Award show as the events only unsigned act. The group worked the underground circuit independently for years before deciding to disband in the summer of 2009.  Following leaving the group Admiral took a short hiatus before making the decision to resume his  career as solo act . Forecasting  the changes in the industry climate he made the decision  to create and develop his own brand which came to be Glory Ave Entertainment. A company providing artist management and development services, production as well as event production services while also serving as the label home to its growing roster of Hip Hop and R&B talent.   In November 2009, the label released his debut solo effort entitled God's Work The Street LP  which served as his reintroduction to the industry.

In 2010 Glory Ave Ent also launched the critically acclaimed Operation X The Mixtape Series hosted by Remy Ma's and Hate money Radios own DJ Bedtyme 357 and sponsored by Coast to Coast Mixtapes. The project was designed to provide exposure and create unity while introducing the new generation of Hip Hop and R&B talent hailing from his hometown, Bronx NY.
