James's Story
I wasn't always a model student. In fact, I was just the opposite. I spent a lot of my youth in and out of juvenile hall and foster care. I was bounced all over California as a ward of the State.
California decided it was a good idea to grant me emancipation at 17 years old and that was a bad idea.
I spent the next 40+ years struggling to find my purpose in this life. I landed in Fresno California in 1982, where I married and had two amazing children. I found a church to hide behind and proceeded to struggle once again. I still suffered from wanderlust and was divorced in 1991.
I remarried in 2006, after many a rough road.
Divorced in 2008, I started my own business and thought I had finally arrived at my "purpose".
In 2011, I made a poor business decision and this forced me to take a long hard look at future. This was the year I began my road to recovery and decided to clean up everything.

y, I have a successful business as a Notary Signing Agent. I have been clean and sober for almost 10 years, (12/2/2011 is my sobriety date).
When I made my decisions I never thought I would be where I am today. An officer of the state to prevent fraud. My life is full and I continue to look at my decisions and motives every day. This keeps me on a path to each day being better than the last.
If there is anyone I have put in harms way in the past, I hope your life is as rich and as full as mine has become. All of my decisions, while I am sorry for a lot of them, have made me the man I am today. A survivor and a fighter. I owe my life to all who have been a part of it. If not for them, I would not be alive today. Thank you
I hope this truth helps someone along the way who thinks all hope is lost. Anything is possible with my creator at the wheel.
I wish everyone blessings and happiness according to God's will.
Thank you for reading.
