Today is a sad, but joyful day for me. 3 years ago today, marked the begining of a new start for my life. We evacuated here from Katrina, and in the process we lost every and anything you could imagine having. 2 cars, house, all memorable assets. Except 3 pairs of clothes. I still have those pairs of clothing to reflect back on. I have been very blessed to have you all and all other persons that have supported any and everything positive, I've attempted to do in this city. I can't say it enough, Thank you all so much for making this a very exciting, smooth, transitioning experience for me as an evacuee. The compassion and concern that I have received has really impressed me the with people and the city of Montgomery. If you ever ask me how I'm doing and my answer is I can't complain, thats just it! When you've lost everything and gain that which you had, and so much more back, I'm just blessed to be here!

I was born in the year 1982, in Montgomery, AL. My family would relocate 7 years later to New Orleans, LA, because of an occupation transfer. For the next 16 years, I would be a resident of New Orleans,Louisiana, where I attended East Jefferson High School. I then went on to obtain a bachelor's degree, May 22, 2005, from Grambling State University in Grambling, LA. For the next 3 months, I worked for AAA roadside assistance in Metairie, LA. On Saturday August 27, 2005, my family and I evacuated back to Montgomery, from our home in New Orleans East to escape the destruction of Hurricane Katrina. Two days after evacuation, Katrina left my family and I with nothing but the support from my extended family and the generous people of Montgomery, AL. In September of the same year, I was presented a front desk job at Southeast YMCA. Upper management noticed my discipline and will to get in shape and asked me if I wouldn't mind going through proper procedures to become a fitness trainer. Every since that opportunity had been presented, I have capitalized on the opportunity to help people live healthier lifestyles. I now have my own independent fitness camps (Resolution Camp) at Shakespeare Park and Brewbaker Primary School. I am a fitness trainer for the Hillwood YMCA of Montgomery, and Vaughn Meadows Apartments. I have performed fitness programs for the ladies of the state legislature, Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church, and am currently the fitness consultant for MyFox Montgomery. I want to thank the Woods family for all of the opportunities they've presented me with. Also I want to thank everyone from Resolution Camp and anyone who has supported any and everything that I've tried to do positive for the city of Montgomery.
