I was born June 17, 1976, in Las Vegas, Nevada. My mother was 16 at the time soon after she became a heroin addict. I had many hardships growing up so many times we had nothing. Although my mother taught me to do right she lived a lifestyle that was contrary to that which she told me.

I grew up learning from people coming out of prison and drug abusers. I saw many terrible things starting at a very young age. Eventually I stopped being a spectator and started participating in various level’s criminal activities. This led to me joining a gang, going on the run, and hiding state to state. At which time I suffered more self imposed hardship including being stabbed, beaten with guns and zapped with a stunner. This did not however give me a change of heart I continued with this unhealthy lifestyle and even got retaliation on some of the perpetrators.

Then one day I had a spiritual revelation that changed my life. I know longer wanted to live in that manner I slowly allowed the Lord to change me from the inside out. Now I am not only a facilitator for I.M.P.A.C.T., but I also have worked with the Chaplaincy program in multiple institutions including Chad, OH close, Preston, Dewitt and other Juvenile institutions.

I have been blessed to have my own ministry called Carry the Cross Music Ministry. It is a hip-hop ministry in which we create c.d.’s, d.v.d.’s, posters and tracks. We go state to state ministering in song doing everything from churches, civic centers, parks, neighborhoods and car shows.

I have also been blessed to do a multiple of speaking engagements from Jr. high schools, gang prevention and intervention, parents of students, Sunday services, discipleship meetings, conferences and bible studies. I have been blessed to turn from a lifestyle of taking and turn to a lifestyle of giving.
