I was born in Bakersfield, California in June of 1982. My Dad was an oil engineer and gun company owner, (Calico Light Weapons Systems) and my Mom would take care of my brother and I whenever Dad was away at work, usually overseas in many different countries. I grew up at first in the countryside of Bakersfield where I was fully born in the backseat of a car because we couldn't get to the hospital quick enough from our home out on the Kern River. I then soon moved to Jakarta, Indonesia to live near my Dad's work. After a few years we moved on to Singapore for a short time where i attended SAS (Singapore American School). Returning to Bakersfield I had the opportunity to raise all kinds of animals throughout my childhood. I competed in public speaking contests with the intensive training from my Mother, who always believed that I could be the best in anything that I set my mind to. From pigs to pygmy goats to rabbits, my brother and I were active in 4H. We also had an obscene amount of all kinds of rodents and reptiles. The middle and high schools in California seemed unfit to both of my parents due to gangs so we moved to Reno, Nevada when I was 12. Growing up in Reno, I found myself competing in wrestling in middle school just like my older brother, in volleyball, softball, the chess club and drama, and was nominated homecoming queen my senior year of highschool in the year 2000. Right after high-school is where my story meeting the streets truly begins. I tried stripping very briefly at the young age of 17 at the Men's Club and then got involved deeply in a multi-level marketing company for a few years. I dropped out of UNR to expand this business to NC and Chicago, IL. with my older brother. That is where I learned everything I didn't know about true life, spirituality, leadership, sales and public speaking from my mentor Dennis Wong through sales and public speaking with my team. After a few years I returned to Reno from National expansion and started working part time at a beauty supply store and selling a lot of drugs. By the time I was forced to go to Las Vegas at 25, I found myself in prison. I realized how truly privileged I really was for my entire life after prison which was an extremely humbling experience, to say the least. This is some of my memoirs from struggling mainly with addiction starting in 2015 and "ending" recently in June of 2020. I did not intend to publish my memoirs from the start so it is as personal as a private diary to me and that is why I believe that it is so powerful. Because of the raw and very uncut, unapologetic truth.
