Together the Wilson family currently resides in Birmingham, Alabama, also known as Magic City! Unlike magic, there is no illusion to what he intends to do on the world stage. In 2007, early in his career, Seneca published his first book "Kind of a One" followed by "Stairs To The Top" in 2016, which were both books of poetry. His most recent book "Turn On Your Light" was released in November of 2020. Wilson is committed to helping others be great, and not only talks the talk, but walks it.
