Metamorphosis: From Athlete to Artist to Entrepreneur

10 years ago as an aspiring artist/writer.

I began writing during my days at Stockton. What started out as just journal entries, poems and philosophical thoughts eventually evolved into short stories, and now books.

As I transitioned from an athlete/soccer player, to an artist/writer I didn't have a plan or know what would become of it all or where I would end up.

What I did know was that I had this calling in my heart, the same instinct and love I felt for soccer I had for the arts and writing.

I've always loved art, was artistic and creative put never devoted time into it, until 2004 when I left the beautiful game of soccer behind.

The next 6 years of my life would be a transitional year for me. Transforming from within, shedding away the phantom self and releasing my true self into the world.

It was an awakening process and a cosmic connection with self, consciousness and the universe. Breaking free from the matrix and mundane daily routines of being "normal". I was a stranger amongst the hive but I was alive and could see.

2010 was when the journey really began to take flight. Inside my modest apartment in Montclair with a skyline view of NYC I molded Esperanza, completed 2 other books and screenplays. 

I lived the life of an artist, that bohemian, romantic, tragic lifestyle, go with the flow way of living life and creating art in my amazing abode I called home.

I miss that place but I look back from where I am now, a place I never imagined being in and love the path I took, even if it was a blind leap in the dark waters, I never regret the choices, and the roads I took.

I've made it and now I begin a new journey. This isn't the end of all I've built as a writer but a stepping stone to something big @compassdigitalventures.

For those with dreams and desires to achieve greatness, know that it is possible, anything is, just believe in YOU and follow your heart. Know that I am always here to support and guide you along the way.

Let me guide you in the right direction.
