Early Life

I grew up on the east side of Detroit. Raised by my grandparents, I always drempt of leaving the city. My mother was a full time waitress, student and party animal so I didn't see her much and at this point my father was too busy selling and doing dope to care. By the age of fourteen my dreams had come true, so I thought. We moved to the suburbs and it was culture shock at it's finest. Naturally, I was used to rough blocks and neighborhoods so suspension and expulsion was my routine at school. My teachers didn't understand how I aced every test and exam when my letter grades were mostly F's. You see, I didn't hate school I had hate for the world in my heart and I was very angry. I still don't know why I was that way as a child, even today. Ironically enough, even living a life of crime by the age of fifteen I had aspirations to become a police officer. Most of my family were criminals so of course I kept that one to myself. Drugs, alcohol and felonious crimes were part of my everyday life, unfortunately. I managed to get through school somehow and vowed to change as I was sick of going to juvenile detention and living like that.

After High School

I graduated when I was Seventeen and thought a geographical change was in order. I joined the Army on 18 March 2007 and went to Fort Leanordwood, Missouri for Military Police training. After a few years, I found myself back in my hometown right back to the same old garbage. Only this time, It got much worse. I didn't think I had a drinking problem I just drank seven nights a week for "enjoyment". Working as a cook in a kitchen, I knew that job wouldn't cut it when my wife told me she was pregnant. Right back to the streets I went and I wish I wouldn't have. I soon was twenty-four with three children, a wife and a serious drug problem. Soon after I lost my wife and kids I continued to drink, drug and sell dope to feed my habits. I found myself in and out of jails, hospitals and institutions for the next few years.

Enough was Enough

In 2017, I went to rehab nine times consecutivly. I have had enough! Soon after I reconciled with my ex wife, kids and everyone I hurt. I joined a program called Alcoholics Anonymous and found the love of my life. No, she wasn't in the program but she understood me. In 2019, I built a seven figure marketing agency from my kitchen table and Social Media One was born! I now live with my new wife and I love life. I have learned to love, give, laugh and most of all.... appreciate god. I am a father, husband, entrepreneur, author, sponsor to many and a productive member of society. Now, on a journey to learn affiliate marketing I know my future for my family and I will be even brighter!
