anything. However, I am fortunate to have a supportive family, especially my

side while I was fighting to come back and my wife is my driving force at the
moment. Now, I work out rigorously every day and always carry a skipping

older characters. A lot has happened in my life. Honestly, the industry didn’t
throw me out, I threw myself out,”.
