From homeless and addicted to drugs to MMA fighter and Entrepreneur BEFORE: My whole childhood was pretty crazy, my mom was a drug addict my father committed suicide and we never had a home... In this first picture I was strung out on heroin, and any other opiate I could get my hands on. This isn't the worst I ever looked because I eventually get so strung out on opiates and meth I wouldn't even take a picture because of paranoia. After my father's death I started experimenting with drugs and alcohol When I was 17 I took my first vicodin, by the time I was 25 I was drinking everyday and I was shooting up heroin, meth and what ever other drug was around. I never learned to face my problems. When I was 28 I overdosed twice, I almost died. Playing Russian roulette with drugs was what I was striving for with every shot. I ended up at rock bottom in jail, and went through a 35 day withdrawal that changed my whole perspective on life. This is where I found myself , I learned alot about how I worked while being incarcerated and in treatment. AFTER: When I was released from the DOC system I remembered what I wanted in life and became a fighter. I figured out how to use my addictive compulsive behavior as a tool. I accomplished alot in a short period of time in combat sports because I trained like a heroin addict trying to get his fix. After having to retire from MMA due to head trauma I pivoted into self development and entrepreneurship. I now own 4 businesses and I coach people to success with self development, by helping them create discipline and healthy habits in their life. I love helping people so if your struggling don't hesitate to ask me for help. PS I tell my story cause I find healing in telling it, the more I talk about it the less power it has and the more I see how far I've come. Tell your story talk to people.
