<p>Biography:<br />I am National Speaker with a passion to share my experiences with the youth and adults.&nbsp; I am a native of Chapel Hill, North Carolina and I reside in Greensboro, NC. I'm an ex-detention officer and I tell a powerful story of overcoming an abuse filled childhood, early alcohol and drug addiction, and a stint in prison for supplying drugs to inmates. I use stories from my life to connect with audiences in a conversational delivery that is relevant and on target for today's setting. I've received recognition from school groups, churches and community leaders for my work. Sober since 2003, I continue to develop myself and motivate others to make better choices and decisions with their lives.<br />Other Accomplishments:<br />•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Actor:&nbsp; Movie “The Return”&nbsp; <br />•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hospice Palliative Care Nurse Technician<br />•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Model for Dudley Cosmetics (3 years)<br />•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Mentors- Male Mentoring Program<br />•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Tarheel Challenge Mentor<br />•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ambassador of Peace Appointment<br />•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Newspaper Articles and Television Appearances<br />•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Radio Appearances<br />•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Humanitarian Award by the Mayor and City Council (City of Greensboro, North Carolina) for&nbsp;&nbsp; Motivational Speaking on Domestic Violence 2010<br />•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Movie - "The Return" - Release date – 2009<br />•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "330 Speaking Engagements in 8 years!"<br />•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Member, Child Endangerment Work Group of Alamance County</p>
