About

Thank you for your time and efforts. My own have been well maintained for the past eight years. After a lifetime of agonizing occurrences, including multiple forms of assaults against myself, a crippling drug addiction, some "gray bar" therapy, and numerous attempts at therapy, I am persevering to excellence. I have worked in mental health care for over twenty-two years. I am in recovery from alcoholism now, as I have been for the past seven years. I am an active father of my three-year-old son. I and my fiancée of five years, mother of our son and love of my life, are soon to be wed. My goals are motivated in giving back to the community all that was given to me in fold. Currently I am, in recovery, a full-time student, father, and husband to be.
