💥 From Trauma to Triumph 💥

I was born into a world of chaos — drugs, violence, poverty, and abuse were my early reality. By the age of 6, CPS had taken us in. Two years later, I returned to a still-toxic environment, carrying the heavy burden of trauma, fear, and confusion — including the lasting wounds of sexual abuse. 🚨 By 8, I had already turned to weed and alcohol, searching for relief wherever I could find it — even during fishing trips with my uncle. That "escape" led to years of drug use, alcoholism, DUIs, jail time, homelessness, near-death experiences, and endless nights of pain and despair.

🙏 But that’s not where my story ends. On September 1st, 2012, I made a decision that changed everything. I got clean and sober — and I've never looked back. 💪

Today, I'm a proud, full-time single father to an amazing 9-year-old. I’m a homeowner, living a life filled with health, purpose, and real happiness. Every day, I dedicate my time to helping others break the chains of addiction and trauma.
