About

I am 49 years, and a person who has gone through a lot of loss in my life, which has caused me to suffer from depression, which to comfort myself from my feelings and depression I turn to food and alcohol. I have battled obesity, alcoholism, and depression since being a teenager.

I was a professional wrestler (Chubby Dudley, one of the Original Boys in ECW), wrestling promoter, and wrestling radio talk show for over 13 years, and also played guitar in a Philadelphia area punk rock band for 16 years, where I tried to chase the dream of becoming a big star in the world of entertainment.

Now today, I currently work in the car business, with a couple different automotive internet ventures, as well as being a husband and father of three.

I also still have my foot in the entertainment world by currently hosting an online weekly sports / entertainment radio show.

I lived most of the first 40 years of my life with a negative approach to life which caused me to be a sad, depressed and miserable person.

But something changed me almost 8 years ago.....

A certain Hollywood celebrity, Charlie Sheen had a very public meltdown, and used the saying "WINNING"

I started using the saying as a joke, but then I started to use it as a way of life.

I started to think positive and happy thoughts............WINNING ways of thinking.

It worked, I started to change my whole life.

Things started going in a positive direction, and I started to finally in my life be happy.

All thanks to Charlie Sheen, and his WINNING Meltdown.

So in my speech I talk for about 45 mins to an hour with a rundown of my life,

You take roller coaster ride of my life, to the lows and the highs, and to the present day of WINNING !!

After my speech I open up the floor for a Q & A.

I don't hold anything back, or candy coat anything. I tell the truth of life and it's experiences.

After all is said I done, I sign Autographs for everyone, and personally meet and thank everyone.
