Found in an oven as a baby with bruises and cigarette burns over my body, juvenile detention began at 11 years old. Drugs and alcohol marked my path from juvenile detention to prison. Committing 135 misdemeanors and five felonies led to spending 14 years in the Texas Department of Corrections. While in jail facing a life sentence, I picked up a Bible lying on the floor and prayed, “God, I don’t know how to get to You, but if You are real like they say You are real, please help me.”

God’s Word became alive, and while imprisoned, I received the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and went from a life sentence to serving one year in the county jail. Since release, God has blessed me with a Godly wife, and I am now a licensed minister and full-time evangelist.
