More About Glenn, Continued :
At 16-Years-Old, Glenn’s Father sought permission from the court to allow him to leave Los Angeles County and move to Northern California, so he could raise him. Ironically, and unbeknownst to himself at the time, it was Glenn’s Father who started him in the entrepreneurial world of selling drugs. Glenn attended high school for only three reasons:
1. Girls. 2. Sports. 3. To Sell Drugs. During his senior year Glenn was “asked” (euphemism for expelled) to leave school, along with his 1.2 GPA.
Once completely out of high school, Glenn felt the easiest way to earn money was to continue selling drugs. He maintained this unlawful lifestyle for the next several years until he had a life-affirming situation show him that he had been doing the wrong things for so many years and realized that he could’ve been dead or in prison!
What was so life-affirming that made this high school dropout, drug salesman (never considered himself a “dealer” use The Power of Choice to make a 180 degree change for the better and succeed with his education, life and career? Well…It turns out that Glenn was at his supplier’s house and left 10 minutes before the house was raided, and his supplier was shot to death. WOW!
At the age of 23, feeling he had nowhere else to go, Glenn joined the U.S. Military for a five-year enlistment. Nearing the end of his enlistment, and through the encouragement of his commanding officer (who saw "something" in him), he decided to pursue Self Improvement and registered for college once his contract ended with the military.
At the age of 28, Glenn walked on to his first college campus (Cuyamaca College in San Diego, CA) and attended his first college class. He completed his undergraduate degree in Communication in 36 months, thus leaving the door of opportunity open to become a Motivational Speaker. He did all this while going through a marriage, a divorce, his father's death, and working full time.
