Growing up with a single mother and two sisters, he grew-up trying to fit in and find a place to belong. He has been through many group homes, the juvenile system, and incarcerated. He was exposed to drugs, alcohol, and the impacts it on him and his environment and surroundings while growing up. He is on our platform today with hopes of sharing his story to give perspective and to help others out there that may be experiencing or know someone that is experiencing something similar. Even with all the adversity and difficulties he has had to face while growing up, he has worked his butt off and is now a Red Seal Journeyman Electrician. On his spare time, you will find him volunteering his time at the local Vancouver soup kitchens and offering his electrician services at cost for those that are less fortunate.
