Bio: Born and Raised – Born 1981 in Hays, Ks. My parents divorced at an early age and my mother raised both my younger sister and I. We grew up lower class, my mother at times worked 2-3 jobs just to support us kids and make sure we had a roof over our heads and food on the table. My father was around but in the way that I needed or wanted as a young man growing up. The divorce was definitely more difficult on me emotionally then it was my younger sister. I grew up being bullied and pushed around a lot in school and never really figured out how to handle it. I attended a private Catholic high school until my senior year when I began using alcohol and drugs and started hanging around a different crowd. Luckily I was still able to graduate at the public school in town and got my high school diploma in 1999. After graduation I decide to make a move out of the small town and moved to Orlando, Fl to live with my uncle (my fathers youngest brother) who became like a big brother to me. Once in Orlando I began working for a call center with my uncle that sold advertising and marketing to timeshare owners. This would be where I made a mistake by trusting and believing people at a young age that the work we where doing was legitimate and actually helped people. Being influenced by flashy cars, clothes, houses and money at a young age and growing up poor I wanted to be able to provide not just for myself but also my family. As time went on working in the sales business I started to realize and see that not everything was as it seemed. Now I found myself as a single (divorced) father of 2 beautiful daughters and the real possibility that I will have to leave them for a amount of time for something that I did and knew was wrong. I was granted 50/50 custody even after my indictment, as I have been a loving and caring father to my daughters. Unfortunately, there will be a time where I will have to leave them to begin a different journey in my life for the things I did and people that I hurt financially. I take full responsibility for what I did and the remorse for the people I hurt financially haunts me everyday and night.
This is a little bit of a bio that I started. It might be a little all over the place kinda but I wanted to get something started that can be organized better and added to!
Thank you,
