About

Hello, I'm David, and I want to share my life story with you up to this point. I was born and raised in Long Beach, California, on September 28, 1983. I have two younger siblings, Michael and Marie. My father was unknown, and my sister and brother's father was my dad until I was about 5 years old.

My early years were marked by physical abuse from my mom, even when I hadn't done anything wrong. I have vivid memories of those painful times. Eventually, my mom and stepdad split up, and our situation worsened as we constantly moved around, often staying with our aunt who sadly passed away a couple of years ago. My mom was deeply involved in a gang, and I witnessed things that no child should ever see. I even endured a stabbing in my neck, never receiving proper medical attention. My aunt played a crucial role in keeping me alive during those dark times.

I also have lasting scars from cut marks and burn marks, and I remember bizarre punishments like kneeling on pineapples for hours after school for no apparent reason, left alone far too often. I carried these painful memories for a long time, only sharing bits of my story with people who I thought cared about me. Sadly, some used my past against me, which led me to stop sharing.

But despite the hardships, there were moments of hope. One day, my mom gave me a severe black eye and injured my head with her heels. I went to school and lied about it, but that very day, while she was driving us under the influence, we were pursued by the police after running a red light. She managed to lose them but abandoned us and instructed us to go home. The police eventually found us, broke down the door, and we were placed in child protective services.

We went through a series of foster homes until I met Bill Fredrick, a compassionate social worker. He helped me find a stable foster home with Uncle Sam and Aunt Fern, a kind Southern black family, when I was around 10 or 11 years old. This stable environment allowed me to play football and baseball and, despite some troubles, changed me for the better.

At 16, I met a girl named Amanda, and though we hit it off, our lives took a turbulent turn with bad decisions, leading us to separate. Then, I encountered Maggie at a bar. We partied and experimented with drugs, but by the time I turned 18, I realized I needed to change my life.

I reconnected with my mom in New Jersey but soon found myself homeless. Fortunately, my cousins from my mom's side, whom I had never met, came to my rescue, bringing me to Pennsylvania, specifically Allentown. They helped me start anew. I finished school, went to college, and started my journey towards independence.

My life took another turn when I got married and had my first daughter. However, the marriage didn't last, and I fell into a cycle of partying, drug use, and negative behavior. It wasn't until 2019, when I was arrested in front of my 12 kids on false charges, that I realized I needed to change.

This incident marked a turning point. I began to transform myself for the sake of my children. In 2022, I gained full custody of my two teenagers and embraced my role as a father more than ever. I even joined TikTok to relieve stress and connect with my kids. Social media opened doors, allowing me to make money, participate in affiliate marketing, and connect with like-minded individuals.

Speaking of friends, I've learned the value of genuine ones like Nanton, who has always supported me. His cousin Jarvin. And my right hand carlos have also been pillars of strength. And I can't forget my tattoo artist, Mike, Ivan friends through thick and thin sometime bump heads.

I'm straightforward and believe in honesty, even if it hurts. The moral of my story is that anyone can overcome adversity—I'm living proof. Becoming a father was a profound experience for me, and I cherish every moment with my kids. It's crucial to be a role model, especially when circumstances force you to fight for access to your children. My goal is to be successful and teaching my kids to take over the business before I leave this world main focus. I'm thankful for the co-parenting relationships I have with some my kids' mothers.

In closing, I want to stress the importance of choosing friends wisely and surrounding yourself with positive influences. My journey has led me to a new path—blogging, social influence, marketing, and business. I aim to collaborate with like-minded individuals. Thank you for taking the time to read my story. There's more to tell, but I've shared what's most important. Remember, life can lead you down unexpected paths, but with determination, change is possible.
