Shatan D. Green is an American educator and entrepreneur born on July 27, 1976; the youngest of seven children. When he was twelve years old, one of his older brothers was shot several times and died at the age of eighteen. This tragedy helped propel him into academia. His educational aspirations ultimately led him to Temple University where he majored in pre-med/biology with the ambition of becoming an Emergency Room Physician; a lifelong dream. Throughout his college career, he worked as an Ornithology researcher and tutor where he helped students from impoverished neighborhoods excel academically. His educational assistance lead to many of them matriculating into college. He was so astounded by their academic progress and success that upon graduating from college he decided to not pursue a career in Emergency Medicine. Instead, he parlayed his appreciation for academic excellence into a newly found career as the Chief Executive Officer of H.I.G.H.E.R. Tutorial Services, Inc., a tutoring company which provides supplemental educational assistance to underprivileged students. He realized that his change in career paths could not afford him the opportunity to heal people physically, but education being the great panacea would help remedy academic complacency within educationally disadvantaged students. In 2009, he was recognized by Cambridge Who's Who Among Business Professionals and received the prestigious 2008-2009 Presidential Who's Who Among Business And Professional Achievers award. Shatan D. Green continues to live by his motto, "my mind is my weapon and education is my ammunition".
