Courtney Selman

Born to Phyllis and Leo, now deceased, Courtney is a father of two children, Steve and Janine. He was educated at St. Augustine's Boys, Barbados Academy (Rudder) and the Modern High School.
He was an insurance executive in his early life and set three goals: to own his business, to own a Mercedes Car and to play cricket for Barbados. When his father encouraged him to join Empire club, an elite organization, and in spite of the negative attitude of his good friend, who told him: "Sure! You can take out the water cart" He not only achieved all his goals, but years later became captain of Empire cricket team. At twenty years of age, in 1965, under the captaincy of Everton Weekes, now Sir Everton he played for the Barbados colts cricket team against Bobby Simpson's Australia Team and organized the first international night cricket game in Barbados and returned in the early seventies to play cricket for Barbados against England, Bermuda, Australia and other countries. He was very successful as a salesman and created a record when he sold one
hundred and twenty five policies in a week in Dominica. He worked in Antigua, St. Kitts, Montserrat, St. Croix, and St. Thomas for the same insurance company.

In Barbados he owned his own business, but because of its capital intensive nature it was hard to maintain. Later he moved to the USA. In New York he owned a trucking business and worked as a marketing specialist for one of the leading health providers. He was President and responsible for forty evangelical churches in Brooklyn and Staten Island; a volunteer auxiliary police officer for the city of New York he ran a prison ministry and a programme for the needy and homeless that fed, physically and spiritually, over two hundred persons weekly.
