Damon West grew up in a caring, well-connected family with traditional values. In college, he was the starting quarterback for University of North Texas with big dreams. But after a career-ending injury prevented him from playing football, he fell into a depression and began to spiral down a path of destruction and hard core drugs. This path would continue post-graduation where he was introduced to methamphetamines by another coworker while training to be a stockbroker with United Bank of Switzerland. He was instantly hooked. The severity of his addiction led him to becoming the mastermind of a burglary ring where he caused irreversible harm to many innocent people until he was eventually caught and sentenced to 65 years in prison.

During his incarceration, Damon had a discussion with a seasoned convict that would change his whole outlook on life. The story of the coffee bean. He used the advice given to him to begin his journey to recovery and redemption.
