Childhood

Born in the City of New York to Tommy and Yvonne Thompson, Cedric was a "Special Child". His parents were a Trendy - Up and Coming Couple that frequented the Harlem and East Village Social Scenes. Tommy was a young dashing waiter for the Warldorf Astoria Hotel, serving the Wealthiest of that Day. Yvonne was a Career Woman and Model who enjoyed Custom Tailored Clothing and the Social Scene. Fashion and The Arts were the Fair for the Young Couple and their only son Cedric. No matter of the event young Cedric was always in tow, dressed in the latest and absorbing everything.

At the dinner table there were discussions by Cedric's father of the Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, those whom he served and interacted with. The Dupont's, Rockefeller's and Rothschild's only to name a few. There was always a sense of Royalty, Dignity and Importance in the air. Young Cedric knew that there was something special about him and he was destined for success. Flying across country alone as a child as early as six years old, dressed in a suit from Saks Fifth Avenue was Yvonne's way of teaching young Cedric independence and allowing him to see the World from a different perspective.

Saturday's were always a special for young Cedric and his Father outings to Radio City Music Hall, the Broadway Theater and Central Park were was the norm. His father nicknamed him the Admiral and himself the Commodore to instill a sense of esteem and inportance. They were middle class in reality, but the atmosphere that Cedric's parents set, was that of the "Royal Family" and why not. Who said you can't dream and aspire big

Today

Those Early Memories, Special Moments and Aspirations have followed Cedric all of his life and are manifesting today through the help and strength of His Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Art and Spirit of "Royal Service" was Inherited from His Father and Cultivated by God. To Serve Humanity with Dignity and Honor with the Spirit of Excellence is His Mission in Life.

The Title Governor

After a traumatic experience in Cedric's life that lead to him becoming Homeless for 2 1/2 years after returning to New York from a successful career as a journalist in Texas, it was Bishop E. Bernard Jordan who God used to help restore his life. The period of homelessness took a heavy toll on Cedric and his outlook on life. Through Serving the Bishop, the early "Lesson's of his Father" and the Inherited Gifts of "Royal Service" took over. In the Year of the Lord 1997 Bishop Anointed and Appointed Cedric as Governor of His Estate, Family and Service to the Ministry. Since then Governor Cedric has served the Church and Corporate World with His many Gifts and Talents.

Giving Back

Being ever so grateful to Bishop Jordan and others that were inspiration to his return to being productive in society, Governor Cedric believes in "Giving Back to Say Thanks". One way is through volunteering his time as a Consultant to Start Up and Growing Ministries that do not have the where with all to Market and Compete in an ever-changing world. Governor Cedric works with the Ministries on a sliding scale fee if there is a budget or if there is not one "Totally Free of Charge".
