Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Parents divorced at an early age. Single mom raised brother and I While working 2 to 3 jobs at a time. Parents instilled hard work, honesty, and faith growing up. Didn’t always have what I needed/wanted. Either had to do without or the hard work came into place where necessary. 2021 my car was totalled due to it being hit by a drunk driver resulting in 2 CT scans and 2 MRIs. 2023 I was hit by a minivan driver that was texting and driving. Resulting in being rushed to the hospital and being hospitalized for 4 days due to having a broken left foot, shattered left wrist, hyperextended knees, and a mild concussion.
