A True Story of Survival, Purpose, and Becoming More Than Your Circumstances
He walked through freezing Arizona nights with no home, no food, and no guarantee he’d survive to see the sunrise.
He stood at the edge of danger in the military, saved only by the instinct of a brother in arms.
He spent thirty years mastering a career that gave him stability—before discovering his real purpose in guiding others.
This is the true story of a man who refused to let his beginning define his ending.
Born into fear, shaped by hardship, and tested by life’s harshest lessons, he rose from homelessness to soldier, from technician to teacher, from survivor to mentor. Along the way, he learned one powerful truth:
A degree doesn’t make you smarter. A title doesn’t make you better.
It simply enhances who you already are.
In this raw and inspiring memoir, you’ll journey through:

• A childhood marked by violence and instability
• Nights spent walking through the mountains to stay alive
• The discipline, brotherhood, and life-changing moments of military service
• A 30-year career in technology alongside industry’s best
• The transformation into a professor who teaches with heart, honesty, and experience

From the Streets to Teach is not the whole story of a man’s life—
it is a powerful summary of the journey, the lessons, and the hope that shaped him.
A story meant to remind every reader that no matter where you begin, you can rise, grow, and redefine your future.
If you’ve ever doubted your worth, questioned your purpose, or struggled through darkness, this book was written for you.
Your past is not your prison. Your future is your choice.
And your strength begins the moment you refuse to quit.
