 I was born and raised in Lexington Ky, I am now currently living in Nicholasville Ky. I'm living with my beautiful woman, son, and  step-son.
 My life has been a very interesting life involving drugs and alcohol. I grew up in a very negative environment where drugs and alcohol was acceptable. I started using drugs and drinking around the age of 13.
 It was a rural area of Lexington that was my so-called stomping ground. An area called Cardinal Valley, a neighborhood which has always been known for its high crime rate. It was there where I began to use drugs and experiment with marijuana, pain pills, and other prescription narcotics.
 That lasted from about the age of 13 until I was around 19. I spent a lot of time in and out of juvenile detention centers and ran away from home, staying gone for days at a time.
 During those times I learned a bit of street smarts. Come to find out, I learned that wrong was right and right was wrong. After about 16 years of trial and error and a lot of blows to the head I found out it was vice versa.
 Around the age of 18 I learned about cocaine and its addictive effects. The first time I used cocaine I was hooked. An old saying "one is to many and a thousand is never enough."
 I started a new journey for a couple of years using cocaine.I began to do everything I could to get that next high, well not everything but most everything.
 Working was something I could not do on cocaine so I turned to stealing. The stealing limited to car stereo systems and breaking into houses from time to time. Car stereo systems I became good at, so I mostly limited myself to car stereo systems.
 Thus a couple journeys to the big house. Usually a couple days here and there. I remember the first time I spent about 4 days and there was this huge guy saying "put him in here", I was a little guy at that time. I was scared to death!
 When I was around 19 years of age I settled with a woman 1 year younger than I. We eventually got married after what I thought to be my first born named Brianna. Come to find out my first born was in 1998, a year prior to Brianna.
 After I met my soon to be wife I found a church. Began working for a living and taking care of my family.
 Eventually I started a carpet cleaning business. The business did really well after it took off. After putting in a lot of ground work, my business began to grow with a lot of business contracts. Mostly restaurants were my primary contracts.
 Did pretty good for myself and my family for a few years. Worked around the clock mostly.
 My brother of which I was very close to lived in Versailles Ky. He lived with his grandparents on his fathers side. We had the same mother but different fathers. He died at the age of 19 of an accidental overdose on May 5, 2000. He was taking methadone to get high. I did not find out about his death until an hour after the funeral took place.

 After his death, slowly but surely I began to lose my business.
