I not only teach chess showing my audience how to improve their chess skills but I use my past experiences and my story to change lives through a chessboard. I'm a published author of Blood on Paper & Pain Living In My Pen.
I have a home, a career, I sleep well and I'm free from alcohlism and smoking. With that being said, my life did a 180 change. Im in great relationship with my parents and family. I've stop smoking, drinking, fighting, mistreating women, and hating people and never knew it. Nothing miraculous happen except I kept reading and studying the bible and I was going to church. I remember telling God to change my life and making me the man he wants me to be. I've moved out of Philly to Lindenwold, New Jersey trying to start my life over but trouble always found me. I was chased and even shot at but I've managed to survive. Because I had a bad reputation of mistreating women, a woman who I use to sleep with sent 3 of her cousins that just came out of jail (attempted murder)to kill me. I even became homeless and had to survive in the streets.
I even mixed a few percocets in my glassed filled Hennessy. I stabbed myself in my leg, tried cutting my chest, and my arm. I felt alone and was suicidal many times. I didn't communicate with my family because I felt like they couldn't help me and I didn't get along with them. I was married and ended up in a bad divorce. Emotionally I couldn't function so the relationships I was in always failed. I had nightmares from my deployment and my dead son and couldn't sleep so I started smoking a lot, drinking a lot of beer, brown liquor and wine just to go to sleep. She never even told me about the funeral. I was very effected and hid my emotions inside.Īfter my 13 month deployment my ex baby mama called me unexpectedly after 6 months of not calling me on Skype nor emailing me and told me my 1year old son died. I felt so much guilt because I was one of the soldiers that made fun of him and I blamed myself. While I was there a soldier in my unit shot himself with an M-16 and the 5.56mm round hit him in the quadrum of his heart and he died. Am 34 years old currently serving in the U.S.
