Create It 2 Conquer was not birthed from the good times. It was birthed from the fire that tried to consume me. I’m a California native from Los Angeles, raised between LA and Pasadena, where survival was the first language and identity was something you had to fight for. I dropped out of high school because life was swinging harder than I could react. Football was always my familiar outlet, my structure, and my chance to rise beyond everything that tried to limit me. From John Muir High School all state player, I fought my way to collegiate All-American status, became a three-time record holder, and in 2014 I was inducted into the Hariston Athletic Hall of Fame at Central Methodist University. 

I earned a CFL shot, and then I got cut. One call. One moment. Everything I thought made me valuable was gone. I went from stadium lights to silence, from confidence to confusion, from purpose to nothing. That’s when I had to face the enemy within, the insecurity, the fear, the anger, and the broken foundation nobody ever taught me how to repair. I went back anyway, finished my bachelor’s, and earned my master’s. But degrees don’t heal the parts of you that are bleeding. Success on paper doesn’t patch the holes in your identity. I was still trying to figure out who I was when the cleats didn't work anymore. 

One thing never left me was art. Art was my weapon long before it ever became a business. When life got loud, I drew. When chaos hit, I painted. Art was the only place God gave me where my mind could breathe and my spirit could reset. I didn’t realize it at the time, but creativity was shaping the leader, the strategist, and the builder I would eventually become. When I finally understood that art wasn’t just therapeutic but transformative, everything shifted and CreateIT 2 Conquer™ was born.  Today I speak to schools, businesses, organizations, and entire communities. I develop leaders, youth, creatives, athletes, and teams. I deploy systems and Solution Swords that sharpen identity, strengthen mindset, and train people to pursue dominance with expectation, not hope. Now I operate my business ventures in a 3,000 square ft. facility in Missouri where creativity, development, and transformation is the driving force for personal dominance. Everything I do is built on creativity, faith, structure, and the relentless refusal to let the enemy within win. If I could rebuild myself from where I started, then anyone willing to fight back can rise too. My mission is to teach individuals if they can conquer the enemy within, the enemy outside can do them no harm. 
My passion to dominate the enemy within comes from losing so many battles without strategy and then finally leaning on God to gain the strength and strategy to prevail.
