It has been quite the wild journey for me...

I am a paralyzed disabled Vietnam Era Vet, who spent over twenty years as a substance abuser and gambler. At times, I even had problems with the criminal justice system. I had low self-esteem, went through a divorce, and just felt as though I had lost hope. I almost ended it at 39 years of age... but luckily I had two children who I loved more than life itself.

So my journey wasn’t meant to end there...

And I have awakened! I went back to school, married my wonderful wife Maria, who I share seven beautiful children with, and completely transformed myself into a positive, motivated, and focused individual. I'm living proof that it's never to late to change your life. I am a true believer in that old saying "you reap what you sow!"
