THE TECHMEDIC | Connector | Dad Joke Guru | Stigma Fighter 02.01.2018 šŸ•Šļø | Do LinkedIn Gooder Guy | Servantā€™s Heart | Dog Lover | #1 Dad 17 Years In A Row! | Jesus Follower | 0x NYT Best Selling Author | MY JULY 28, 2025 VISION/COMMITMENTā€¦ ā€¢ I can afford to take my daughter (Ava Joy) and my fiancĆ© (Kristy) on a vacation every year to see different parts of the world like weā€™ve always wanted to do. ā€¢I send Ava Joy a surprise box every month to whatever college sheā€™s attending. Itā€™ll be filled with stuff to remind her how proud I am of her and how much I love her. ā€¢ Iā€™m an example to my family and close friends that no matter your past, you can change things around. ā€¢ I can finally afford a ring for Kristy, marry her, and give her the wedding sheā€™s always wanted. She deserves it! ā€¢ Every night Iā€™m able to tell Kristy a story of how I positively impacted someoneā€™s life every day. ā€¢ I have time to coach a little league all-star baseball team. ā€¢ Iā€™m in the best shape of my life. Stuff gets mushy quick after 40 lol. ā€¢ Me, Kristy, and Ava Joy go on a mission trip every year. ā€¢ Iā€™ve interviewed 100 people on the FOUND PURPOSE podcast. ā€¢ Built a community of awesome people focused on positively impacting the Triadā€¦spreads from there. ā€¢ I host an event for substance misuse/mental wellness every year in honor of my mom. (RIP) ā™„ļø ā€¢ New Testament is committed to memory. ā€¢ Own my first home/land build homes for my dad and Kristyā€™s dad. ā€¢ Kristy doesnā€™t have to work anymore unless she chooses to. ā€¢ I make decisions based off faith and abundance. ā€¢ I share my story/testimony at least once a month (in person or virtual). ā€¢ Iā€™m the #1 producer in my company. ā€¢ I celebrate 7 years sober (July 28, 2023 will be 5 years). ā€¢ Negative self talk and self sabotaging is a thing of the past. ā€¢ Iā€™ve finally written and published ā€œThe Worst Sales Book In The Universeā€. ā€¢ I mentor ā€œat riskā€ youth every month. ā€¢ Iā€™m proud of who I look at in the mirror, but continue to strive daily to become the best version of myself. ā€¢ I have zero debt. ā€¢ Thereā€™s AT LEAST 2 commas in my bank account balance. ā€¢ I can speak Spanish. With the last name ā€˜Perezā€™, youā€™d think that was a given, but nope! My pops never taught us. ā€¢ Saved the toughest for lastā€¦ A few years back, I was involved in a case that put a man in prison for 33 years. He was our camp counselor who abused myself and 9 others (that we know of) when we were kids. It was a pretty big story in the Triad. I go visit him in prison and tell him Iā€™ve forgiven him, and talk to him about the love of Jesus. Iā€™d love to hear about your vision/goals. Letā€™s connect! šŸ¤™šŸ½
