He grew up in Macquarie Fields, surrounded by chaos, moving between homes and trying to find where he fit in. What started as a normal life slowly shifted into something else, as the streets began to take over and the consequences started stacking up.Drugs, violence, and prison became part of the journey, but that’s only one side of the story. The harder part came after, trying to come home, trying to be a father, a partner, and a man, while carrying everything that life had already taught him.This episode isn’t about glorifying a life of crime. It’s about what that life really does to a person, and what it takes to try and rebuild when you’ve been shaped by survival for so long.Now, he’s focused on something different. He’s taken what he’s lived through and is putting it into a sports programme called From The Ground Up, aimed at guiding young people before they end up down the same path.
