Episode 55. Don Perry Jr!

On this edition of Reset and Rise To The Unbreakable With Amanda Moore, we welcome Don Perry Jr to the show!Here's his bio in his own words :My name is Donald Eugene Perry Jr, but everyone knows me as Don Perry. A short history I suppose is needed. I was born in a small town south of Stockton California. It's called French Camp. Born Sept 17, 1971. Both of my parents were active in my upbringing. My father was a full fledged functioning alcoholic who died of cirrhosis at 48 years old. He was a super kind man that definitely had his demons. My mother was a hard-working woman and just always tried to keep things together. She passed from cancer at 53. 11 years apart. The reason I bring that up is, I was a part of your growing up but nothing crazy a little bit of weed drinking and so forth. But when my father passed I went off the deep end. Ridiculous drinking taking every drug that I can get my hands on. It led to an 8-year addiction to methamphetamine.I have been clean off of that since 2007. In fact I haven't done anything other than smoke the ganga since. I believe they call that California's sober. During the time of my addiction I was a horrible person not trustworthy, and full of myself. I'm really surprised that I have any long lived friends because of that time frame. The person I was then was not respectable. I have been with the same company for over 20 years and have worked very hard to build my life back up.I served in the United States Marine corps from 1988 to 1992. I served during desert shield desert Storm. With first battalion 3rd Marines bravo company weapons platoon and then with third battalion third Marines kilo company weapons platoon. I took place in the Battle of kahfgi as well as I was a gunner on the highway of hell. I played semi-pro football until I was 31 years old.I started bowling recreationally when I was 30. I started taking bowling seriously when I turned 50. I have been bowling competitively since. I coached high School football and track. Both in the state of Washington and California. I have played music professionally on and off for 35 years. I have a few singles out and last played a gig this February. My band is on a permanent hiatus. Out of nowhere is the name.Follow Amanda on Instagram :@BackupBowler83Follow the show on Instagram and Tik Tok :@ResetandRisePodcast⁩Send us an email with your questions and comments :[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/reset-and-rise-to-the-unbreakable--6690676/support.
