Back then to Now: The Story of Vegas Don

While serving my 30 year sentence, I went on a mission to get my time reduced. I knew prison wasn’t where I was suppose to end up. So I received assistance from a appellant defender and pleaded my case to the U.S Supreme Court. Before my sentence reduction, all my so-called friends, girlfriends and most of my family had wrote me off as gone. It took nearly three years to get the 30 year sentence reduced to 10 years. I ended up serving 5 years and it took me 4 years of those 5 for me to finally see life for what it truly is.

I was release at age 26, but before I was released I had made plans and
one of them was to never go back to prison. I’ve been released for over
a decade now. For the past four years, I’ve run my own business:
“PHATNUM Music & Videos.” I manage professional boxers and music entertainers. I also have a local TV show titled, “PHATNUM LIVE”. I have
been fortunate to have made acquaintances with a lot of famous people. I credit my success because I surround myself around successful people. On two different occasions, I’ve been shot, once in the head. In two other different incidents, I’ve been stabbed, each time someone was trying to take my life. I strongly believe that God has spared my life, so that I might save someone else life. I’ve struggled, I know pain and I’ve been at the very bottom. No matter how much of a lost cause someone may seem to be, they can turn their life around. This is my story........what’s yours?
