Analyst. Two of Bert's children have worked in the D.C. Courts, Bryan in Civil Division and Leyla, who still works in Family Court. Bert also played touch football with the Courthouse Dragons, the Courts'football team. Bert has been an active member of the Trinidad Tobago Association of D.C. since 1968, holding positions as parliamentarian and currently Treasurer. He also has been active in youth soccer by coaching the All-Stars Soccer Team from 1976-1986 and serving as the District of Columbia Youth Soccer Commissioner of Ward 4 in 1986. Bert believes that soccer taught him discipline, respect, and to have fun with what he was doing without expecting anything from it. The most memorable time for him during his soccer days were when he was playing in Trinidad just for the fun and love of the game without the worries money can bring. Other memories of travelling and meeting people from different countries put a smile on his face as well. When asked what he felt was his biggest accomplishment, Bert replied, "I left home as a young man not knowing what was in store for me and I was able to weather the storm and come out strong and successful. I grew a lot and learned a lot over the years." Bert has always enjoyed working for the court system. The thing he loves most is being able to help see things get balanced and done properly. He believes that you should do work that you enjoy, otherwise it is not worth the effort. He derives satisfaction from the accomplishment of goals he has set for himself. It is important to stay focused. Bert's motto for life is, "You do not know where life will take you, it seems like yesterday I was a little boy in Trinidad not knowing what the future would bring and today I am living in D.C.— It's by the Grace of God."
