I come from a Family that began in a 12X60 mobile home where College was never spoken,and barely making a living seemed to be our family’s mantra. I was working on the farm from age 9 to buy my school clothes and knew early on I wanted more, much more out of life than just getting by. I was an awarded athlete in football, baseball and martial arts. At age 19 I went into Real Estate and by age 21 had 3 houses: a Mercedes and BMW. Determined to do even more, I jumped into Corporate America. I excelled in sales and was soon promoted to General Manager. At the age of 25 I was the youngest ever to be a GM in the Fortune 100 Companies 68 year history. I took the location that never made a profitable dollar in 8 years, ranked 374 of 378 (4th from the bottom Nationally) to #2 in the Nation in volume won me the top new GM of the year. 10s of millions flowed through the businesses I managed and owned. I made strong six digits and was a top 1% income earner with all the cars, boats, Harleys, Rolexes, Cuban Cigars and Travel.
Alcohol and cocaine came with that Lifestyle and for years there seemed to be no real negative consequences. My professional life looked like a story book, but my personal life was a disaster. When the market took a dive I lost my business. My drinking accelerated to the point of me ending up in 25+, 5-7 day Detox Units/ 20+ Hospitals/ 4 Inpatient Treatment Centers/ Jails and feeling utterly hopeless to alcohol addiction 3 suicide attempts. I lived and went to treatment in West Palm Beach, Columbia SC, Austin Texas and Roanoke Virginia with no success in being freed from alcohol. I was shot in the head with a 9 millimeter and have broken 15+ bones, rods, plates and artificial left hip from car accidents all due to the influence of alcohol.
Today, I’m happily married with 3 beautiful girls. I have a PhD in Philosophy, Masters in Counseling, authored 5 books and in 2017 created the spiritually based 91 day program Epic Life Solutions for hurts, habits and hangups endorsed and utilized in 178 Countries serving more than 8 million members.
