I was born in Brooklyn and raised in Queens. Growing up, I knew of God but didn’t fully understand Him. We didn’t go to church, but I was taught to pray in tough times, and God always came through. My childhood was great, but high school hit me hard. At 16, I fell into a dark place, battling depression. I went from being an ambitious kid with big dreams to feeling hopeless in my late teens, convinced my existence didn’t matter. By my early 20s, I was ready to accept a mediocre life and found myself doing things I never thought I would, like smoking and getting involved in things I shouldn’t have.

Everything changed on May 16, 2022, when I met the woman I knew would be my wife. Seeing her strong relationship with Christ made me curious, and I knew I needed to change to be with her. Just when life seemed to be turning around, things took a drastic turn on September 9, 2022, when my dad and I were stabbed. That event flipped my world upside down but also sparked my real journey with Christ. I started going to church, reading the Bible, and found a church that helped me grow in my faith.

By March 2023, I officially gave my life to Christ. I quit smoking in April, started making videos to spread His word in May, and launched my clothing brand, YHWH’s Image, in June. In August 2023, my wife and I got baptized and engaged on the same day. It’s been a wild journey, but by God’s grace, I’ve become the man I am today. My purpose is to lead and serve, guiding others to Christ and showing them how to live a Christ-centered life in a world that often pushes the opposite.
