Miscellaneous
Matt Conway grew up in Ohio and from an early age he admits he was a scared little kid. He started getting praise and attention from older kids and it was something he liked. His behavior became more risky as he got older. By high school he was experimenting with drugs and alcohol. He was a gifted athlete but was unable to stay on the straight and narrow. He started selling marijuana to the kids in his school and realized he was good at it. Matt liked the hustle and lifestyle that came with selling. Pretty soon he started selling other drugs to a wider net of people. He was kicked out of his high school and graduated from a neighboring school. When he got to college, he found a fraternity that he liked. It didn’t take long for him to find a hookup for drugs and pretty soon he was the “go to” guy for pretty much anything that was available. Life would only get more complicated as his selling became more sophisticated and on a higher level. Eventually he would get caught, numerous times and ended up doing time in prison. Today Matt has several years of sobriety and feels blessed to be alive. He has a strong relationship with God and the church and says that this is the main driver behind his new lease on life.
