Please support a great cause and help me pursue one of my goals in life by giving so I can give back to all of those that are having difficulty in life as Teens and to participate in a Life Changing program with Lisa Nichols called, Motivating The Teen Spirit. Where we teach Teens how to fall in love with themselves and make integrity-Based Decisions.

Allow me to help your son, daughter, cousin, nephew, or loved one that are having challenges growing up in life and may be contemplating to end their life, like I did when I was younger.

Growing up in Wisconsin and Indiana I grew up in a good home but my parents separated when I was very young.  I lived mostly with my mom, which at the time I hated because I was the middle child and she had me do everything. 

There was no abuse, but I was not ok with who I was, my friends and family would make fun of me and I thought there was something wrong with me, but today know it was not me it was that they had low self esteem and that is why they would make fun of me to better themselves.  I started to hang around some of the popular kids who were into drugs and drinking I started doing drugs and to drink also and many times thought that maybe I would be better off if I was not alive and attempted to suffocate myself and many other things.

I moved to my Father house in Wisconsin and was happier but not with who I was.  I got involved in selling drugs and a gang and my life was going nowhere very fast.  I would drink and party every day for years and one night while I was with a friend to go buy a big shipment of drugs, I was robbed at gun point and my life flashed before my eyes, but I still continued to head down the wrong path. 

One afternoon I was involved in a verbal fight and from my blind side someone hit me below the eye with brass knuckles in my face and I had to get reconstructive bones surgery under my eye and almost died because of infection.  You would think I would of learned my lesson but I did not.

Then one evening a rival gang was chasing us in my car and to get them away from us we shot at them and they fled.  I knew my life was going nowhere.  The next day the police came to my house and asked me to come down to the police station to just talk and I did.

They begin to interrogate my and sent me to jail without reading me my rights or anything, I felt violated and knew my life was over.  All charges ended up being dropped for lack of evidence.  Thank you God.  I went back to my gang and was at one of my gang members house and a person that I did not know, that just got released from prison came up to me and said, What are you doing with your life all of these guys here have criminal records and are not going to end up to be anything in life but you don’t and you could have a real future for yourself.

That hit me very hard in the heart and I started to think about what I wanted in life and I quit everything the next week.  I had death threats out for my life because once you are in a gang it’s for life "Blood In Blood Out"  I began to turn my life around I joined the Navy did Ten years most as a Military Police Officer I know what you are thinking a police Officer, Yes.

I am know married with two beautiful girls ages 6 and 10 my life is completely different so you see I want to take my story and help others to become who they really are and let them know that there is so much in life to live for and to be proud of.
