Non-Legendary Beginnings
I didn’t grow up with a silver spoon. I grew up with sirens. Helicopters circling overhead. Screams and shouts in the street. Gun shots, car alarms and chaos just outside my window in South Central Los Angeles. Every night, fear tucked me in. I learned early to keep my voice down—and eventually, I believed that silence was who I was. I was just a street kid trying to survive.
I became a product of my environment. Stealing with other kids in the hood. Always looking over my shoulder, battling shame, low self-worth, and a simmering anger at the world… and especially, at my father. That anger stayed with me for over thirty years.
I worked construction. Bartended. I even taught for a while. But I never found a steady path—until a couple of friends dragged me into the entertainment industry. I didn’t want the spotlight. I just wanted to stop being afraid of being seen.
A Taste of Success
One night, I found myself on stage in front of producers, agents, and directors. I froze.
My throat closed. My face burned. And as I stumbled through my lines, I felt like the
biggest fraud in the room. My coach barked at me from the shadows: “Just say the
lines!” I walked off stage crushed—but something inside said, This isn’t how my story
ends. So I committed.
And my rise was fast. I became a series regular on Port Charles. ABC flew me first class.
Red carpets. Autographs. Magazine features. The dream. The lights were on, but I was
empty inside.
Eventually, the hollowness in my chest grew too loud to ignore. Memorizing lines
became difficult. I thought something was wrong with my brain. But what was wrong…
was that I had abandoned myself. I stood at a fork in the road: take another high-profile
TV role or take a risk and start investing in my inner world. I chose me—for the first time.
I lost the role, but I started gaining something far more valuable.
The Collapse
I walked away from Hollywood. Fired my agents. Let go of the lifestyle, the luxury, the distractions. And then I hit bottom.
I broke down crying on the floor of a small 10’x10’ home office, telling my wife, “I don’t know who I am anymore. I don’t even know how to make money.” That was the moment
the old me died—and the man I was meant to be began to awaken. I was emotionally broken, mentally fragmented, disconnected from my daughter, lost in
a marriage I didn’t know how to lead. I had no tools. No daily practice. No guidance. My wife tried to help, but she couldn’t teach me how to be a man. That was my mission.
The Rising
For the next decade, I clawed my way through darkness—alone. I began learning the
practices that saved me: breathwork, meditation, Kundalini yoga, emotional intelligence,
and forgiveness. I confronted the deep pain of my father wounds. I felt everything I had
run from: the grief, the shame, the fear, the doubt.
And slowly, something powerful began to shift.
As I started serving others—teaching girls and women self-defense, guiding students
through embodiment practices, coaching men through childhood trauma, to speak life
into audience from the stage—I began to feel myself again. More than that: I found my
purpose.
I forgave my father—not because he asked for it, but because I was ready to be free.
That forgiveness unlocked everything.
Legend Awakens
I reconciled with my ex-wife. Rebuilt a relationship with my daughter. Married my twin
flame. Adopted her children as my own. And I now lead from a place of wholeness.
I’m not just a man who overcame. I’m a man who transformed.
I went from a kid who couldn’t speak, to an Emmy Award-winning actor and
International Speaker who found his real power off the stage. I went from a boy full of
rage, to a man devoted to peace, spiritual strength, and moral excellence. I’ve led
thousands of men around the world to do the same—to live from truth, to lead with
purpose, to become legends in their homes, their communities, and their lives.
The Unlikely Twist
And perhaps the most beautiful part of this story?
I’ve healed so deeply… that my current wife and former wife are now best friends.
That doesn’t happen by accident. That happens when you do the real work.
My Sacred Legend
Now I live in a sacred marriage where I show up fully—spiritually grounded, emotionally
present, mentally clear, and financially strong. My children know what masculine
leadership rooted in love looks like. And the legacy I’m building? It’s not just for
them—it’s for the establishment of our family lineage for generations to come.
Because men like us are needed more than ever.
In a time where technology can seem to move faster than truth, and distractions can
pull us in every direction, we need men who can lead from within. We need men who
know what’s right. Who protect what matters. Who create homes, communities, and
legacies that cannot be shaken.
This is the work I do now.
And if I can do it, so can you.
