ROCK BOTTOM WAS THE BEGINNING

A 16-Minute Documentary

I Was Fired from Facebook for Drinking. Then My Son Died During Birth. Here’s How the Worst Moment of My Life Became My Greatest Gift.

 This isn’t motivational content. This is the real work of turning pain into purpose.

The Story

I had the resume everyone wanted. Adobe. Facebook. Speaking on stages. Building a business.

But behind the achievements, I was drinking every night, hiding behind titles, and living someone else’s definition of success.

Getting fired was the wake-up call. Sobriety was the first step. Then my wife got pregnant, and I thought I’d finally figured it out.

On May 29, 2017, our son TJ died during birth.

That night, standing in a hospital room holding my son’s body, everything I thought mattered stopped mattering. And everything I’d been avoiding became the only thing worth doing.

This documentary is the story of what happened next. How I rebuilt from authentic truth instead of ego. How I found my community. How one moment on stage changed everything. And how looking at my son’s tombstone forced me to answer the question we all avoid:

How do I want to be remembered?

After You Watch, You Will

Think differently

You’ll stop seeing your struggles as disqualifications and start seeing them as the foundation of your real story.

Feel lighter

The weight of pretending gets heavy. You’ll feel what it’s like to put it down, even for a moment.

Act from truth

You’ll stop building from who you think you should be and start building from who you actually are.

What You’ll Discover

How seeing my name on my son’s tombstone changed my perspective on legacy.

The exact moment on stage when I stopped performing and started living authentically.

Why sharing your pain cuts it in half and doubles your joy.

How the worst moment of my life is now helping people I’ll never meet.

This Documentary Is For You If

Your time is limited. We got one life. The worst moment of my life helped people I’ll never meet have a better life. That’s the legacy my son can leave behind.
