On February 22, 1989 at the age of fifteen (15) I had a stroke that nearly took my life. The cause​ of my stroke was a brain tumor that was enlarged on my cerebellum. The day I woke from surgery I was bald with a tube in my nose and one across my head. I spent eight (8) weeks in the hospital and while there I caught pneumonia twice. As a result of the stroke the right side of my face is paralyzed.

As of today, besides being a motivational speaker and a BLS Instructor we, my late

wife and I, own an entertainment company with branches in two states. I feel my reasoning for being here is to share my story and inspire other to achieve their goals in life.
