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. On June 13, 2020 I loss my wife due to cardiac arrest. On June 11, 2021 I survived my 3rd car wreck. In 2022 I caught COVID twice and; on February 12, 2023 I was attacked by five (5) pitbulls. It's by GOD's will that I am still here.

​ Besides being a motivational speaker, a stroke survivor and a BLS/CPR Instructor I am also the Owner/CEO of a security company in Texas. I feel my reasoning for being here is to share my story and inspire other to achieve their goals in life.
