About Jerry

 

From Bullied to Believer

I wasn’t the loud kid. I wasn’t the confident one. I was the kid who sat in the back of the class, afraid of being called on. Bullied. Anxious. Always worried about being embarrassed. And for a long time, I didn’t believe I was enough. But life has a way of shaping you.

I turned fear into fuel. I became a two-time world champion in kickboxing, a Hall of Famer, and a

sixth-degree black belt. I found my way into Hollywood, acting, doing stunt work, and telling stories. On paper, I had achieved success. But it wasn’t until I started working with youth that I found my real purpose.

​

Why I Do This Work

Now, I walk into schools and meet students who are just like I was, scared, uncertain, battling their own storms. And I get to tell them the truth:

You’re not broken. You don’t have to do it alone. You have power you haven’t even discovered yet.

My mission is simple: to show up fully, speak from the heart, and create a space where students feel seen, heard, and inspired to step into who they’re meant to be.

​

The Talk Is Real. The Connection Is Deeper.

My talks and workshops aren’t just performances. They’re real conversations, built on honesty, courage, and connection. I challenge students to face themselves, not with shame, but with strength.

Because when we stop pretending and start showing up for who we are, that’s when the shift happens.

Let’s Partner

I don’t show up to impress. I show up to impact.

If you’re an educator, thank you. You’re doing one of the hardest and most important jobs there is. If there’s a way I can partner with you to pour into your students, let’s talk.

They don’t need perfect. They need real. And that’s exactly what I bring.
