In the winter of 2006, after a terrible knee injury, I found out what life was going to be like without my dream career. I’m not going to sugar coat it and tell you that the next step for me was a no-brainer – that I had a “Plan B” all figured out. There were not just moments – but long days of mind-numbing panic and endless questions without answers. I discovered that there was a lot about me I didn’t like.

I spent most of the next year recovering from the knee injury and from my own self-doubt. I had a family – a wife, a daughter, and another one on the way. There were no “ifs” or “maybes” – I had to make a decision immediately and formulate a plan. Clarity came as I began to remember what I’d heard from teachers and coaches from my early years. They said, “Take what you are good at and make a career out of it.” One thing I knew for sure…I was really good at running my mouth.

Stepping in front of a microphone has become my field of play. I like hearing a pin drop when I’m painting a picture of a scared kid running for his life when he hears the click of an angry homeowner’s gun behind him. I appreciate seeing the solemn nods when I talk about how a friend’s bad decision ended his life one night.

And, I just get chills when I’m in a room full of people who finally get it - that the power to do better, want better, and be better is already in them – in their history of wins and losses, and in their ability to learn from it all. In my eyes, that’s exactly what makes someone more than a “pro.”
