All of these different circumstances aided in creating a very unique perspective in taking on the world.
Also, from the age of 4 to 12 he experienced getting molested by a family friend. Growing up as well as my experience In the sports realm he experienced a lot of physical, mental, and emotional abuse as well. These unfortunate events had a profound impact on his mental well being.
To combat the effects of his trauma, he funneled all his feelings and emotions into sports. Sports became a saving grace in dealing with a mind filled with toxicity from the trauma he experienced. Sports became an environment in which he excelled, leading him to be a top high school football player, a college football starter, and eventual NFL athlete and team captain of 7 years.
In retirement, his journey of healing has led him to two stays at a treatment facility where I created the Personal Mastery School, a program built to help anyone find answers to how to find themselves, their purpose, and a plan. Using all the knowledge from his experiences, strategies that have helped as well as others succeed in horrible environments, as well as knowledge from therapy, he put the Personal Mastery School together as an answer to questions he had known many of us have in dealing with life and leading a good, successful, productive life.
He has also become a mental, physical, and sexual abuse survivor advocate, Tedx speaker, public speaker, consultant, connector, and problem solver for individuals and businesses. With his unique perspective from his varied experiences he has found himself to be of value in many different environments as a problem solver.
His goal is to help those who don’t have guidance learn the essentials to guiding themselves towards their dreams and goals, find peace and confidence within themselves, learn the techniques to being a master strategist in their own lives in dealing with issues or problems, have the knowledge and system of effectively solving problems in their own lives, and be equipped with the knowledge to plan with an emphasis on fluidity. He wants others to learn all these skills in more so they can win the battle against their biggest enemy themselves and the unknown to move with confidence and tenacity towards their life mission.
