Without Permission: How I Beat the Odds, No Matter the Cost

What’s raw, real, and quietly powerful? The kind of story that doesn’t just inspire—it transforms.

Without Permission: How I Beat the Odds, No Matter the Cost is a raw, unflinching memoir of grit, personal growth, and the relentless pursuit of purpose. Written by the founder of America's first government-accredited high school for soccer players—launched at just 23 years old—this is more than a success story. It’s a deep, personal journey through childhood trauma, bullying, betrayal, faith, and the power of manifestation.

With brutal honesty and heartfelt vulnerability, the author walks readers through the moments that shaped his values, his leadership, and his vision—offering a deeply personal account of what it takes to build something meaningful when no one else believes in you.

From navigating a unique family dynamic and battling anxiety and depression, to founding an innovative institution against all odds, Without Permission is an anthem for anyone who’s ever been told they couldn’t… and did anyway.

This book is for dreamers. For fighters. For those who have fallen and are still getting back up. It’s not about perfection. It’s about perseverance.
