I led a life centered around athletics, earning recognition as an All-Star basketball player in high school. As the captain, I played a crucial role in the Texas Class 5 AAAA State Championship Game in Austin, Texas. Additionally, I served as the starting quarterback in college football. Despite these achievements, my years were overshadowed by the challenges of living in a home filled with pain and brokenness. Recognizing the need for change, I decided to break the cycle of abuse and poverty, seeking a new beginning for my life
I have dedicated the last 25 years of life my to helping youth, adults and families suffering from abuse and violence in their home community.
