Cities such as Hartford, Connecticut and Boston, Massachusetts among others. He spent a good part of his youth struggling with alcoholism, drug addiction and a life of petty crime. With the help of the Creator he put this negative lifestyle behind him and began a journey on what he calls, “The Good Red Road.”
He has been a boxer, has trained in the martial arts of Eagle Claw Kung Fu and Tae Kwon Do, a competition pow-wow dancer, an actor with over 40 stage productions and a movie under his belt, destroyed his knees running over 100 road races and two marathons, and went from being an 8th grade drop-out with a GED to earning a bachelors and two masters degrees.
As a member of a Traditional Inter-Tribal Medicine Society he now works to keep the culture, traditions and languages of the tribes he’s descended from alive so they can be passed on to future generations.показать меньше
