C&B Books Presents Chairman Dough
Chairman Dough was born off of Rockaway Boulevard in the South Jamaica section of New York City. The fourth of six children, he grew up poor but being raised in a house where both his father and his mother taught strong family values. That alone was enough to have steered him towards the completion of a high school education, but unfortunately it wasn't enough to keep him from inevitably becoming immersed in a life of crime by the time he was eighteen years old.
Dough caught his first gun possession beef in 1987 and it wasn’t too long after that that he began his first stint in a Federal facility for a conviction stemming from conspiracy to possess and distribute cocaine. After having served the completion of his sentence Dough returned back to the streets where he briefly worked in the record industry, after landing a preproduction deal with a subsidiary of RCA Records.
However, a career in music was not to be, for after his second oldest brother was shot in the head in an alleged robbery of a corner bodega, his oldest brother was found dead in a rundown welfare hotel in Alphabet City, the victim of drugs, poverty and neglect. Dough took back to the streets and a life of crime. Sadly Armed Robbery became his means to an end. The Feds caught up to him and in the March of Two Thousand and One Chairman Dough began serving an eighteen and a half year prison sentence for armed bank robbery.
Upon his arrival at Lewisburg Penitentiary in 2003, Dough was inspired to pick up the pen and begin writing. He has gone on to pen The Cayshawn Mitchell Story, a series of

Publishing with his business partner Raymond Butler. F.O.O.L.S. Fight of our Lives, the sequel to Money Over Everything is due out sometime in the fall of 2010.
