About the Book

What if your greatest leadership lessons came not from boardrooms or classrooms—but from the darkest moments of your life?

The Path of Rocks and Thorns is a raw, unflinching memoir of descent and transformation. Like Dante’s journey into hell, the book follows the author’s journey through addiction, mental illness, and six years of incarceration. Each chapter explores a level of personal hell—and the leadership lesson forged in its fire.

This book is for anyone who’s ever felt broken, stuck, or unseen—and is ready to lead anyway.
