I am a first generation Armenian-American, very proud to be born in Worcester, Massachusetts to amazing parents. I was always high energy and very misunderstood. I had a troubled upbringing and always felt like I never fit in, and my spirit was different. I went through a lot of turbulence and I had a disease that I don’t want to get to in depth, but I was not supposed to live past the age of 11, so I had come to grips with my death at a early age which caused me to reflect and have the self talk that no child should bare. Something amazing happened within me. My pain turned to purpose. You could say that my mind broke and what breaks you put together even better. So this has led me to be a self motivator, action taker, risk taker, and always living in the moment . I am a spiritual person that has a connection with the divine essence within us that spared my life, so I am always grateful and see the positive in everything. growing up I had a chip on my shoulder always getting into trouble not listening or paying attention in class fighting diagnosed ADHD. Thank God my parents didn’t put me on the medication, never took any medication in my life and I got expelled in 10th grade and was a high school dropout.
I am a self realization follower, serial entrepreneur, business owner, inventor, Yogi!
