From Darkness to Light: My Journey of Transformation
Welcome to my corner of the world! I’m truly grateful you’re here, ready to dive into my story—a journey marked by the peaks of success and the valleys of failure, intertwined with passion and perseverance.
While my past is painted with shades of addiction and dark desperation, it is not the essence of who I am today. I invite you to join me as I recount my ascent from the depths of hopelessness to a place of renewal and strength.
My mission now is to inspire and uplift others who find themselves in similar battles, guiding them toward their own transformations from rock bottom to rock solid. Thank you for taking the time to understand my journey—I can't wait to share my experiences with you!
The Power of Transformation: A Life Reclaimed
Imagine being released from prison after five years, carrying the weight of four felonies, with no money, a suspended license, and no job.
Picture living in a small room in your brothers home, battling Hepatitis C, without a car and having shattered credit.
Visualize the grief of losing your mother just a year before your release, moving to a small town where you have no friends, and facing the monumental challenge of rebuilding your life in a society where your reputation has been destroyed.
Finding employment becomes nearly impossible with a criminal record, and the community feels uneasy about having a registered sex offender living on their street.
Now picture this at 47 years old, a time when one would typically be established in their career, enjoying financial security, and experiencing stability.
Imagine all this after a successful two-decade career in radio and television, where you spent nearly 10 years as an NBC weatherman and international fitness model, owned a beautiful home in the Palm Beaches, received awards for being an esteemed true voice in the community where you lived, hosted hundreds of hurricane seminars, spoke to thousands on stage as a mentor and public figure, and enjoyed an esteemed reputation in your community.
Would you feel hopeless in such a situation?
Now, consider that this was me.
However, within a few years, I transformed my circumstances entirely.
I Recreated My Life and Rebuilt My Reputation
I published 4 books on Amazon and earned 10 certifications, including Life Coach, Master Personal Trainer, Nutritionist, Transformation Specialist, Brain Fitness Coach, Behavioral Health Coach, and online course creator, and specialized coach in Sex Addiction Recovery. I achieved my 2nd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do and created a YouTube channel where I produced over 140 videos, attracting more than a thousand authentic subscribers within its first year.
Today, I own a fitness and coaching studio, drive a Mazda Miata and a Jeep Wrangler, and have adopted a beautiful dog named Blaze. I have secured a rental home and cultivated a supportive community of positive friends and a healthy family structure. My reputation has been restored, and I enjoy a strong camaraderie with my neighbors. A FAR climb from alcoholism, methamphetamine and sex addicted, and a prison cell.
Through all these challenges, including the heartbreaking loss of my precious father in 2022, I maintained my freedom from sex, meth, and alcohol addiction. Nor have I returned to any of my former destructive and debilitating behaviors.
Remarkably, I achieved all of this without any financial support from family or government—no one ever gave me money. I built my business from the ground up, despite having no prior entrepreneurial experience, and I've kept the same coach and mentor in my life for the past 20+ years.
I am no longer Hepatitis C positive, thanks to successful medication in 2018. In fact at 54, my doctor stated, "You are in excellent health for that of a 27 year old."
I Continue Creating The Life I Desire
Today, I continue to grow, pursuing bigger dreams and passions, and dedicating myself to helping others transform their lives just as I have transformed mine.
This message isn’t about me—it's for you. If you feel hopeless and trapped by your circumstances, even those of your own making, I am here to help. I'm eager to turn my past pain and poor choices into tools to guide you toward a complete life reinvention and transformation.
If I can rise from such overwhelming challenges, so can you. Embrace the possibility of your own transformation. Let me help you go from rock bottom to rock solid.

From Heartbreak to Healing: A Journey of Love, Redemption, and Unbreakable Bonds
In 2018, I stood at the threshold of a new chapter in my life, filled with a mix of excitement and trepidation as I approached a shelter in Brooksville, Florida. After years of silence from my former pet life, the thought of adopting a dog once again stirred my soul.
It had been nearly a decade since I had to part ways with my beloved dog, Jake, whose loyal presence had brightened my life for ten joyful years. But those later years were marred by the dark cloud of addiction, which ultimately led to a heartbreaking decision: to give him up for foster care when my struggles with methamphetamine and alcohol rendered me unable to care for him.
On that devastating day, I can still picture Jake, his ears back, eyes filled with sadness, tail wagging weakly as if he understood that I was leaving him for good. Forgiveness has taken years to cultivate within me for that choice, but I have come to learn that, at that moment, it was the kindest thing I could do for him, ensuring he would be cared for and loved.
Enter Blaze. At just nine months old, he strolled into my life, ready to ignite a spark of joy I thought I had lost forever. As I crouched down to meet him, our eyes connected, and in that moment, I felt an overwhelming sense of hope and love. I knew instinctively that I would cherish him fiercely, providing him a life filled with adventure, care, and companionship.
Together, we’ve forged a bond built on trust, with my dedication shining through in every play session, long walk, and cherished moment snuggled in bed at night. Blaze has become not only a beloved pet but also a fixture at my fitness studio, capturing the hearts of my clients with his intelligence and kindness. Every wag of his tail and playful bark reminds me of my unbreakable promise: I will never let him down, never let him feel abandoned, and never return to the destructive patterns of my past.
As I reflect on my journey, I carry Jake’s memory with me, honoring the love we shared while ensuring that Blaze receives two times the affection I gave before. I remember Jake every day, knowing that his spirit guides me forward.
While he passed away during the tumultuous years of incarceration, I trust that the universe gave him the love and stability I was unable to provide.
My vow to Blaze is unwavering: he will never see me high, drunk, or out of control. I will be the responsible, loving companion he deserves because I have learned the true value of love through both my deepest sorrow and my newfound joy.
Blaze is the embodiment of my redemption, and as I look into his eager eyes, I embrace the incredible journey of forgiveness, healing, and unconditional love that connects me to both my past and my present.
MY BEAUTIFUL BLAZE
IN MEMORY OF MY BEAUTIFUL JAKE
