MR. RAYMOND ROMAN

Founder & CEO

Born on November 30th, 1968 in Baltimore, MD, Raymond Roman was raised in the tough west side areas near Edmondson Ave, Lexington Terrace and Poplar Grove. Growing up he enjoyed roller skating, basketball, football, boxing, and horseback riding, while also encountering his darker side by selling drugs. His role models included his grandmother and uncles but he also was a product of his environment looking up to the hustlers who reaped the vastly over rated benefits of the drug game. Eventually he got caught up in this lifestyle and was ultimately incarcerated.

Raymond earned his GED in prison and also made the decision to make a “360 degree change in his life.” He came to realize that young black men in the city were glorifying the negative behaviors of local drug dealers and gang members and that there were very few adults with a background similar to his who could help these youth turn their lives around. So after completing his sentence in the Hagerstown Facility he worked with young boys at the Charles Hickey School for three years. As he later worked for the Woodbourne Center for Kids he recognized that he had a passion for entrepreneurship and founded his Domiciliary Care Home. He later passed the business onto his family and began investing in real estate.

In the last ten years, Mr. Roman has invested his time giving back to the youth of Baltimore. He has created programs to prevent kids from following the same path he went down and from there came the ideas for his “What’s the 410?” filming projects, For One Objective (Saving Our Kids) and Juvenile Crime Prevention. At the mature age of 39, Raymond enrolled in college realizing he had never before been on a college campus. Thus he began to feel the need to make sure that all young people received the proper exposure to Higher Learning Facilities.

Today with a humble heart and a giving spirit he dreams of saving our youth’s future for generations to come. He plans to take his Juvenile Crime Prevention Program to another level while continuing his other interests in Prisoners Aid Counseling, music and film.
