Sometimes you don’t choose your s**t creek. You just find yourself in it.
In 2015, while serving as a police officer, I was shot in the face during a protest in Ferguson. What followed wasn’t just the physical recovery—it was a journey through trauma, PTSD, identity, loss, and ultimately, finding a way forward.
I recently had the opportunity to sit down with John Jay Wiley on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast to talk openly about that journey—from being shot and later fired by my agency, to facing the trauma I had carried for years, and ultimately finding purpose on the other side of it.
The episode is now available, and I’d love for you to listen.
But more importantly, if you’re currently stuck in your own s**t creek—whether that’s trauma, grief, addiction, shame, loss, or simply feeling like you don’t know how to move forward—I hope something in this conversation reminds you that your story isn’t over.
Thank you to John for giving me the space to tell my story, and thank you to everyone who takes the time to listen.
