After receiving a B.S. degree from Southern University, he served as an Ordnance Corps commission officer in the U.S. Army at various post around the world. He received his JD Law degree and earned his private pilot license during that time. After his military career, he received an MBA degree from Louisiana State University with an Internal Auditing specialty. Brother Davis did further studies to earn his NY State Certifications as a Mathematics teacher and as a School and District Administrator. He is currently an adjunct instructor of mathematics at both Bryant and Stratton College (Buffalo Campus) and Trocaire College. Brother Davis has taught Mathematics, full time or as a substitute, in public schools, including the Buffalo School District, Central School Districts of Orchard Park, Hamburg, West Seneca, and Amherst.

Brother Davis is very involved in the community of Western New York. He is on the board of the Family Help Center and served on Board of the Buffalo Urban League for seven years (five as the Treasurer). In Boy Scouts, he serves as an Assistant Council Commissioner, the District Commissioner, Buffalo District, and the Unit Commissioner for units of the Buffalo District and the Red Jacket District. He has been awarded the District Order of Merit, the Commissioner of the Year, and the Silver Beaver while serving within the Greater Niagara Frontier Council of the Boy Scouts of America. He also serves his Fraternity as the Eastern Region Boy Scouts of America Coordinator, as the Area Director, Area 1, NYACOA/District III, and as a Chapter President, VP, Treasure and an Alpha Advisor. Brother Davis is also a Life member of the National Black MBA Association and has served since 2000 as a Hospitality Ambassador at the Buffalo/Niagara Frontier International Airport. Brother Davis is a very active member of St. Bernadette R.C. Church and sings tenor with his church and a Community Chorale. He has had the honor of having an award named after him (the Felton Davis Award of Merit) by the New York Association of Chapters of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. in 2011.

Felton L. Davis was born in Willard, Ohio. He was an adorable little baby boy. He was raised by his mother Bea Davis and his aunt, Mrs. Margaret Davidson. Although he only had a mother figure in the household, he still had male role models. While growing up he had uncles, school principals, Sunday school teachers, scout masters and many more men who were all good examples in his life. During his childhood years he was introduced to the Boy Scouts who taught him many traits he uses today like citizenship, self confidence and courage. He also earned his Eagle Scout's badge.

One of the challenges of his childhood was that he moved several times. He had to learn how to make friends and adapt to his surrounding in each of the three different states in which he lived during grades K-12. However, Mr. Davis always loved school. Reading was one of the things that helped him throughout his life. He went on to college at Southern University, and then transferred into the military. He served 20 years in the military and was a Major when he left active duty. He loved to do this and said he would do it even if it was a non-paying position. In the military he studied to attain his Masters in Business from Louisiana State University. In addition to his degrees, he has received numerous certificates in many things. For example he is a certified teacher, principal and pilot.

Mr. Davis is very involved with the Buffalo community. He has been a substitute teacher at many schools including Amherst High School. He is also a district commissioner in the Niagara Frontier Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Felton Davis is part of many organizations like the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA), the National Black MBA Association (NBMBAA), the National Council of Teachers of Math (NCTM), and the NAACP, just to name a few. Mr. Davis is also the Chapter President of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. His work does not stop there; he also is very involved with his church. Mr. Davis loves volunteering at the airport, helping with customer service, and he sells newspapers for Kids's Day, and helps raise funds for the March of Dimes.

In spite of all of his work, many people would say that he is a very modest man. Felton Davis believes that since the role models he looked up to helped him along the way, he should assist people who need support. This is why I believe that Felton L. Davis deserves to be an "uncrowned king" of Western New York.]]> Uncrowned Queens Institute for Research & Education on Women, Inc.]]> Blanc Photographie (videographer)]]> Blanc, Yves-Richard]]> eng]]> Rare Book Room of the B&ECPL (repository)]]> eng]]> Early Twentieth Century (1900-1925)]]> llumination of books and manuscripts--Specimens]]> Manuscripts--Specimens]]> Manuscripts, Latin (Medieval and modern)--Specimens]]> Manuscripts, Latin--New York (State)--Buffalo.]]>
