I grew up in a loving family. Sports were a big part of my life, with my father being a college football player. We attended church with my grandparents often. After I tore my ACL, my addiction began. I used drugs to escape my reality. I didn’t want to accept that I wouldn’t be able to follow my dream of playing football. I was living from hotel to hotel and ran out of money, and I ended up here in Teen Challenge. I came to break the addiction, but quickly realized that it was a relationship with the Lord that I really needed. I want the Lord to use me for his will and allow my testimony to inspire others to seek the Him and His ways.
