After going through many traumatic events as a young person he fell into drug and alcohol abuse at the age of 16. By the age of 20 he was addicted to heroin and became involved in criminality. By the time he was 25 he had seven outstanding court cases for drug related crime and then he was arrested for murder. While in Shotts prison in the year 2002 he came to the point where he was very mentally ill and wondered what was going to become of his life. During this period of time, he attended a prison fellowship meeting and turned his life over to Jesus Christ. Today he preaches and shares his testimony in
