I am responding to information on the Internet that is based on accusations, which were never proven, which are untrue. I am innocent of any of the salacious and inflammatory accusations that were made against as evidenced by the San Francisco Superior Court dismissing my drug charge in September, 2010. I respectfully ask people to look at all the facts and not just the accusations before passing judgement on me.
Never in my adult life have I been so constantly reminded of my responsibility to make good decisions as a result of an unfortunate situation in 2005. This unfortunate experience has also adversely impacted my family and my friends; some of whom too experienced negative fallout by supporting me through this difficult period. I have learned to identify what is essential in my life and fighting to take care of those issues is something I had lost sight of.
I learned, firsthand, how personal suffering painfully impacts an individual, their loved ones and society as a whole and I have used this experience and re-evaluated my life's purpose. Over the past four years, I have lived a life of good citizenry with my family and with others. I became a certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor and Vocational Specialist in a community mental illness program and I am pursuing an advance degree in Marriage and Family Therapy.
