About Me
How We Got Here
In 2005, at the age of 27, I was homeless, unemployed, unemployable, broke, broken, and lying on the floor of a dirty hotel bathroom taking what I believed to be my last breaths. For seven years I had been struggling with an overpowering addiction to methamphetamine...and taking every other drug that came my way in an attempt to drown out the noise of my shame and guilt. I had destroyed every relationship in my life and was truly alone...but for God.
God had a greater plan for my life, and allowed me to fall as far as I could before lifting me up in his warm Fatherly embrace and carrying me through to the next stage of my life. What followed was miracle after miracle, beginning with an immediate opening in a treatment center 3 hours away, a loan to fill my gas tank, and a long-neglected truck that barely got me there...finally breaking down in the center's parking lot, leaving me to push it out of the way and into a parking spot.
After treatment, I finished my undergraduate degree. Overall it took me 12 years, and failing out of two universities 3 times. And through His Grace, I was admitted to law school, and eventually earned my law degree and law license. I also finally convinced the girl of my dreams, who I had been asking out for seven years, to say yes...first to a date, and then to be my wife.
In 2015, I started my own solo law practice, bought an office, hired employees, and built a successful business. We started our family and I felt myself being pulled between the career I had always dreamed of and the people I loved the most. As that pull grew stronger, I became confused, angry, and depressed. I didn't understand why God would allow me to go from nothing to everything I thought I wanted, but leave me feeling empty, sad, unfulfilled, and resentful at the amount of time I was taken away from my wife and children.
