My story begins before memory itself—before I even drew my first breath. On November 2nd, 1973, I came into the world as a blank slate, an atheist by default, only to be swiftly ushered into the rituals and rhythms of the Catholic Church.
The threads of my existence weave back even further. Nine months before my birth, on February 2nd, 1973, the woman who carried me discovered she was pregnant. And if we trace the timeline just six weeks earlier, to the hushed, snow-dusted days between December 20th and 26th, 1972, that was likely the moment of my conception—a quiet, unremarkable instant that set everything in motion.
Fate, it seems, has a way of threading irony into the fabric of our lives. On January 22nd, 1973, the Supreme Court’s landmark Roe v. Wade decision legalized abortion nationwide—a ruling that, had circumstances differed, might have rewritten my story entirely. These dates loom with quiet significance, though much remains shrouded in mystery. As an adoptee, my biological origins are fragments, whispers of a past I’ve never fully known.
Then came the first true test of my resilience. In 1975, when I was just a toddler, I was diagnosed with retinoblastoma, a rare and aggressive eye cancer. The University of Michigan became my battleground, where surgeons removed my right eye and replaced it with a prosthetic—a small but defining chapter in my young life.
I was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan, adopted through a Catholic-affiliated home, and brought to Battle Creek by my adoptive parents. In 1979, our family grew when my brother was born, and soon after, we journeyed east to settle in Metro Detroit, just 25 miles from the bustling heart of the city—a new horizon for a new chapter.
I have spent my career in the Metro Detroit area, because Metro Detroit is where I am from, if you don’t count my first five years that were spent in Battle Creek, MI. I graduated high school in 1991 with no dreams, ambition, or clue as to where I was going, or what I was going to.
I am dedicated to delivering remarkable results for clients, with my clients being clubs, the club’s entertainers, and the clients of the clubs, along with the entertainer’s clients.
