As a result of the prayers of my loving mother (Mrs. Mattie B. Ellis) whom I love dearly; and a loving God, I was able to rehabilitate myself from a lifestyle of addiction and crime.

It is my belief that no human should suffer from the disease of addiction because it is treatable; nor from a lifestyle of crime and incarceration because God gave us the ability to change. To that end, I have dedicated my life to the up-lifting of people recovering from addiction, incarceration and homelessness.
