After a long battle with severe addiction and depression, I came to know Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior in a rehab facility in 2015. He rescued me from a lifetime of chaos and darkness and brought me into an amazing new life full of hope, love and purpose. Now I am driven to tell everyone I meet about the hope that is found in Jesus and that what he did for me, he can do for them too.

What did you want to be when you grew up?

Originally thought I was going to join the military until I realized that I didn't follow rules very well. Then I thought it would be cool to be a historian because I love history, but I hated going to school. After that I didn't really have any plans, but I'm glad God did.
