"My path wasn't linear."
Early in life, I made choices that led to four years in a medium-security federal prison. It was violent, tense, and humbling — an environment that stripped away ego and demanded daily courage. That season became a turning point. I learned the cost of wasted potential and the power of second chances. I walked out with a different definition of success: not applause, but alignment. Not noise, but impact. Not reputation, but responsibility.
"Today, that conviction fuels everything I do."
This is not a redemption story. It's a responsibility story.
