It doesn’t matter where you’re at in life right now. All that matters is where you’re going.

I’m curious how you got the career on track. What was that process like after the convictions?

I am extremely lucky to work in an industry that's closely tied to counter culture. So, backgrounds with drug use aren't shamed as hard. The company I work for is also very family oriented. 

I worked here before all of my legal trouble and after I had gotten my shit back together, they gave me an opportunity to prove myself which I ran with. 

Prior to that, I was still doing alright, but not nearly to the same degree. Was making $20/hour as a solo plumber which was decent, but nowhere near what I'm earning now.

The most important step that I took after this all happened to start rebuilding was getting that job as a plumber. Before it, I had 0 confidence in my ability to do anything. I hadn't worked in years, my skills had degraded, etc. Showing up to ANY JOB and seeing that I could still make shit happen was a confidence booster enough to go after the jobs I knew I could still do.
