Overview

"Spending an entire childhood orphaned, delinquent, and with a school dropout label, led to a challenging twisted journey toward achievements not thought possible - earning the highest academic degree, and leading a successful and incredibly fulfilling career in behavioral health. Overcoming adversity and challenges built an internal resilience that was beneficial in overcoming obstacles that were perceived as roadblocks. Experiencing moments of sorrow in witnessing the pain and suffering of hungry and starving children in Africa, led to accompanying moments of guilt directed at a world of wealth with an abundance of food. Surviving stage four cancer led to a deeper appreciation of life and the recognition that the benevolence and mercy of Almighty God played a significant role in reshaping my early wayward life. Hopefully, my story will inspire others facing similar challenges to directly face their darkness and redirect their life to a shining light.
