“Your belief in who you are and where you are going needs to be so firm that it can withstand anything that attempts to change that!”
my drive and motivation
Dr. Savage's journey has been anything but easy! Academically, life started unraveling as early as elementary school. He got behind and really didn’t see a life of academic success nor the purpose. Truth is, Dr. Savage was born to two parents that never graduated from high school and those same generational mistakes found there way into his life!
Blessed by divine intervention, Dr. Savage would ultimately encounter mentors that changed the direction of his life! He has been gifted with the fantastic task to help as many young people as he can and it is evident in his speeches and workshops how much he cares!
A BELIEF THAT ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!
With an unyielding determination to succeed, Dr. Savage earned his B.S. in mathematics from The University of Mississippi. He continued to ascend, obtaining an M.S. in mathematics and an M.A. in teaching from Mississippi State University. Driven by a passion for enhancing educational experiences, he pursued a Ph.D. in mathematics education from Mississippi State University.
During his undergraduate years, Dr. Savage's involvement in the LSMAMP Program laid the foundation for his commitment to giving back. Dr. Savage, as an undergraduate at the University of Mississippi would serve as president of the LSMAMP’s I.M.A.G.E (Increasing Minority Access to Graduate Education) Program for 2 years. His first-hand experience in the program ignited a mission to empower low-income and first-generation students, offering them the support he himself had once received.
