About Us

I was in prison at 18 years old. 

Read that again.

PRISON.

At 19 years old on October 12th, 1996 at 3 a.m. sitting in yet another jail cell, I decided I was finished with all mind-altering substances. Exactly 1 day before I found myself in handcuffs for roughly the 21st time. This time was different though, I was facing  10+ years in prison for violating parole after just being released from prison 5 months earlier. 

I knew at that moment, that I could never drink or use drugs like “normal” people. 

This cycle that I had been living over and over again since I was 14 was always going to be my outcome. The desperation and emptiness catapulted me into change.  

From that day forward, I have not had a single drink or used any mind-altering chemicals. 

For 28 years I have now experienced what I consider true freedom, and THAT is gangster.  

Freedom takes work, willingness, and honesty. I know firsthand that there is a life waiting for you that is beyond anything you could have ever dreamed of.

Sober Gangster is living out lout, recognizing the light and dark that lives in all of us. Sobriety is my Light, where I found freedom and what was discovered through all of the Gangster my Dark.  

Living Sober is Gangster.

I was not meant for the life I live now, I was meant to be a statistic. Yet I chose a different path. I chose to live off of the streets, out of prison, and break free of the statistics that were never in my favor, and you can too. I broke the rules, I found freedom. I live free and will never live in the desperation of addiction again.  Nothing is more Gangster than that.
