One decision changed everything. My DUI crash took two lives and cost me five years behind bars. I will carry that weight for the rest of my life—but I’ve learned that my past doesn’t have to define my future.

In prison, I faced the reality of my actions and the pain I caused. Through faith, accountability, and honest self-reflection, I found a new purpose: to share my story so others never make the same mistake.

Today, I speak to schools, churches, recovery programs, and community organizations, telling the truth about the cost of one choice and the hope that can come after. If my journey can prevent even one tragedy, then the lives we lost will never be in vain.
