Blue Collar Scholar

Welcome to Blue Collar Scholar.

There was a time in my life when I woke up each morning with the single goal of making money to pay the rent and buy food. The problem is I didn’t have a job. I was a criminal.

Now, I’m a father, husband, writer, and podcaster. I managed to avoid ruining my life. Many of my friends and associates from this time were not so lucky.

I write stories from this time in my life, what led me to it, how I escaped it and turned it all around. In doing so, I hope others may learn from my stories and discover more about themselves.
