You Are In Good Hands.

Welcome...

A person walks alone atop a sand dune under a vast blue sky with wispy clouds and contrails. Their footprints mark the untouched sand behind them, illustrating a journey through a serene desert landscape.

I wanted to highlight a bit of my background, just to give you a good idea of WHO it is you’d be investing in...

Honestly

Going back over what I wrote, I can see you might get a feeling of Is this guy for REAL? But I assure you that everything you’re about to read is as real as it gets...

Sure

I'll admit...

It does sound a bit over the top, even exaggerated, but it’s truly only a fraction of my journey, and it’s all genuine -

Every bit of it.

That being said...

Thanks for taking the time to read it and enjoy,

My name is Justin David

Currently out of sunny Seattle :)

Not native to the area

I’m originally from SoCal but ended up here in the Pacific Northwest after a 20-year game of tug-of-war that I lost with my lady over where to finally settle down -

This is home now.

I actually grew up 15 minutes from the Mexican border in the South Bay area of San Diego -

Paradise Hills (later Chula Vista) to be exact, and to tell it like it was, my family was stretching it financially back then -

Not major poor

Just gettin' by

No worries though. It was actually a great childhood.

Poverty really isn’t so bad, it’s that relative poverty that's tuff.

When you start seeing fools across the street driving BMW’s while you're rocking an old Datsun is when it starts to hurt you feel me…?

Not for us.

Not back then. We were all broke, so no one ever thought twice about it...

Broke and Color Blind too.

Ahead of the times by happenstance, I’m very fortunate to have come from a racially diverse background. In fact, you could say we were diverse before DIVERSITY was a thing:

Starting with my parents.

They divorced when I was young

Dad remarried a gorgeous Mexican woman, while my mom married a black man...

Not a big deal at all nowadays, but in the 80’s it was HUGE

Death threats huge

Toughing it out, they were absolutely pioneers of what would later become the norm...

Interracial couples

Out of my mom’s marriage I have a beautiful sister who’s mixed, and I'm of mixed heritage myself -

While I consider myself Caucasian, my mother’s name is actually Marcella and her mother’s name was Roberta,

Making me mixed Hispanic

No biggie just kinda cool that it turned out that way

Funny because I actually spent my childhood growing up in a neighborhood where I WAS the minority...

Never really noticed

And I never thought twice about the fact that Thanksgiving dinners were occasionally held in the homes of the African American side of my family either -

Again. Color Blind

(Maybe even a bit naive)

Regardless, PH was fast and unlike anything, anywhere, at any time:

Fun

Diverse

Wild

Very much ALIVE, and very, Very dangerous.

Through it all we looked out for each other, and there was this sense of community within the neighborhood that I miss even now,...

I've met heroes from South Bay that you would only see in the movies,

Been influenced by larger-than-life characters that you'll never hear of,

Raised by Community Leaders in the hood who were self-made from the bottom,

Met criminals and gang bangers with a sense of honor that is rarely matched in people whom I come across these days,

And I've marveled at everyday working men and women who sacrificed everything to make something more for their children,

Each and every one of them had their own unique perspectives on life, hopes, and dreams,

Things were just...

DIFFERENT

And thankfully, because of that unique upbringing,

I developed the ability to empathize with many different kinds of people... Quickly learning to DEEPLY understand their concerns and struggles...

Their Hopes

Their Fears

Their Experiences

Relating to others now days in ways most simply cannot,

And not on purpose either. I had too. TO SURVIVE.

I'm simply a product of my environment

But because I DID grow up in That Time and in That Place

I DO understand many different perspectives, values, and cultures today...

Straight up

It really was a privilege

An array of crumpled paper cutouts in the shape of human heads and speech bubbles against a dark background, illustrating a colorful conversation or a diverse exchange of ideas.

A monochrome image capturing the poignant moment of a person crouching down with their head bowed, concealed by a hoodie, in a dimly lit environment that evokes a sense of despair or contemplation.

I remember it VIVIDLY -

Five years ago, I found the strength to finally peer at my own reflection, and I did NOT like who was staring back at me...

In fact it was downright disturbing.

I saw the image of a 41-year-old, depressed and poverty-stricken man who'd been reduced to a mere shadow of the person that he had been at one time...

and as I began to assess the damage,

I'll be the first to admit that I was in big trouble,

A huge wake up call.

I resolved in my heart right then and there to do WHATEVER I had to do to become the man I needed to be:

I decided to fight

HARD.

That was Then and this is Now.

Thank God things are a lot different today...

Before I go on,

In order to first put things into context, I'm gonna need to expand a bit on how I got here...

So let me quickly tell you how I lost it all...

Fast-forward from my childhood in Paradise Hills to sometime around 2008 (when things hit the fan)

From then on I was involved in what turned out to be a very long and hard-fought legal battle with my former employer.

HUGE distraction...!

At the time I'd convinced myself that I was on some kind of superhero BS. Single-handedly taking on what I believed to be corporate corruption and abuse of power.

But honestly, looking back now…?

No.

That was just a lie I’d been telling myself at the time,

What had REALLY happened was I had become both obsessed and greedy...

Seduced by the possibility of a big-money payout and caught up in the pursuit of justice - (which was actually a desire for revenge) - I began playing out some sort of twisted, adolescent, hero fantasy in both my mind and in real-life.

Trippin.

This drawn out legal ordeal is what eventually drove me to madness, and started me down the rabbit-hole of a decade’s worth of mind-altering psych-meds - the aftermath of which would later cause my family to become both destitute and miserable...

Only some of the MANY negative consequences resulting from extreme measures I’d taken to win...

at any cost.

To cope with the chaos I'd manifested in my life during that time - I started popping anti-anxiety scripts that went on for waaaaaay too long!

The pills brought out the worst in me...

One year on these things turned into one-after-the-other and my time taking that mess lasted the span of a decade or so:

What I DO remember I'm trying to forget...

In fact

It's hard to even believe it even happened.

But if I'm honest. I did it to myself.

Again. NO EXCUSES.

As hard as it is to reflect on this, I can recall that my life had absolutely become a downward spiral, but I'd known for a long time that something had to give at some point:

Still...

It took me until late 2017 before I finally tapered off the meds

Enough was ENOUGH!

A red stop sign stands out against a textured, dark grey background, with bold white letters commanding attention and signaling the universal message to halt.

Within days of quitting the drugs I experienced clarity of thought that I hadn't remembered having in years:

Right away I stopped gambling,

I immediately quit watching porn,

The spending sprees suddenly ended, and besides the occasional glass of wine at dinner, I quit drinking too,

Stopped smoking pot literally overnight – nothing against it - it was just time for a break n I was cool with that,

At the same time I picked up tons of productive NEW habits such as reading books and listening to podcasts (Chomsky and Pinker had been on the menu)

Online education was an option suddenly, and I was able to maintain a healthy diet for the first time in my entire life -

losing over 40 lbs!

And all of this while simultaneously discarding tons of POOR HABITS like watching endless TV and neglecting my goals...

These productive new habits gave rise to even more positive outcomes...

And over time IT PAYED OFF.

Still, as much as I loved it I had always been a bit of a misfit growing up,

Unlike most of my peers I spent my time Dreaming of what I was learning,

Reading anything and everything that I could get my hands on at the time...

It wasn’t uncommon for me as a youngster to stay inside over the summer tearing through books,

Sketching out my pencil drawings instead of playing tackle football on the concrete with the homies

I was an ARTIST. I was different.

Having shown promise as a young student, by the 3rd grade I was admitted into the gifted program

at a brand-new elementary school what served as an Art Magnet in the South Bay area of the city

I remember that I would often sit at my art desk, sharpener ready, pencils close at hand...

my mind having blasted off to somewhere outside the outer rim as I dove DEEP into drawing first for hours...then days...and sometimes even WEEKS at a time -

I loved it!

It was during the three years I’d spent in this accelerated curriculum that I was exposed to the concept of becoming more through educational opportunity

It was freakin awesome. Good school. Great teachers man.

The sky seemed to be the limit back then...

Unfortunately, as a teenager I couldn’t escape the influences of either the drugs or the violence which were both so common throughout my old neighborhood:

I made several poor choices

Hung around the wrong people

And by the age of around 15 or so...?

I had CLEARLY become a product of my environment – never living up to my potential and looking at a bleak future going forward...

That's on ME.

I take full responsibility

We are each the sum of all of our choices, and instead of growing up to become the genius luminary most had expected me to be -

I went in exactly the other direction with it, and as of today most of my adult life has been one desperate attempt after another on my part to hide a life-long, dark, and personal secret from both myself and others -

that I’ve been a coward.

I've allowed fear to get the best of me:

Fear of judgement

Fear of abandonment

Fear of rejection and ridicule. Fear of violence

You name it,

I've just been afraid,

Of everything. All the time.

This daily terror that I'd felt inside had kept me from being able to muster up the courage I needed...

To take a long, hard, necessary look in the mirror and make some tuff changes in my life...

Eventually I did...

I experienced radical transformation and all the benefits that keeping consistent, positive habits bring over time...

For example, these days I regularly hear compliments about my appearance - a new thing for me,

and NO DOUBT a nice change of pace...

Trust me. If you could see me even not too long ago?

Ummmm. Not so much lol

And it doesn't stop there either,

After a couple of years living out of a backpack and sleeping on friend's floors, I became pretty eco-friendly too (something that's really important to me)

Even now...

I still live a minimalist, simple, spartan lifestyle and honestly?

I'm GOOD.

The truth is...

It’s better for me to live this way. Cleaner. More efficient. Uncluttered. I feel lighter...

I can think.

Not having to maintain a bunch of stuff gives me a chance to focus on the more important things -

Like other people.

Not surprisingly my personal relationships are slowly mending, and my marriage is experiencing a revival with all the new changes in my life. Amen!

My spare time is now spent building my business, spending time with my family, and putting in work toward being a better father and husband. Halleliujah

NOW. Lemme tell you -

This is all absolutely a work in progress...

Nobody's perfect.

We still have our ups and downs,

but these days there’s more steps being made forward than back. And it’s MIRACULOUS how far we’ve come considering where we started...

Close-up of a glowing piece of metal being worked upon with a hammer on an anvil, sparks flying in all directions, capturing the heat and intensity of metal forging.

All these things I've mentioned would have been impossible for me to do even 5 years ago -

Yet with the help of the Most High I did the impossible...

And it gets even better

More important than anything else that I’ve previously talked about, and definitely the most precious changes to me personally,

has to do with the fact that I had REDISCOVERED a SPIRITUALITY that I haven't felt since I was younger.

Hallelujah.

I gave myself to Christ late in 2018 and experienced even more radical TRANSFORMATION!

To the point that my wife didn’t even recognize me after a year-long separation...

I literally LOOK different.

Talk different. Act different.

The coward is gone. FEAR is gone.

God gave me the courage to both LOVE and Be loved again.

I have a new heart and live a repentant life -

I am a New Creation.

Born again Christian.

Man of Faith. BELIEVER.

Walking it out with Christ one step at a time...

And no no no. With all that being said...

Pleeease!

Don't jump to any conclusions here

YES I'm spiritual. But I'm also NOT religious in the least bit:

Totally non-judgmental

Absolutely not self-righteous

I believe in free will and the sovereign individual

In freedom.

I have NO desire to either dominate or push my beliefs onto anyone else. Not in any way, shape, or form

In fact...

My family and I recently escaped a religious cult after almost 30 years of group-oriented narcissistic abuse...

The LAST thing I want is for someone else to experience the smothering control we went through...

Not going to happen. Not by my hand. Not on my watch.

Instead, I preach UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. This stuff is for everybody. And I don’t discriminate...

Ever.

Because I know what that feels like. To be marginalized.

Looked down upon.

Labeled.

Let me tell you something else...

It wasn't until I became "Disabled" as a middle-aged white man in America that I experienced the discrimination so many others must go through...

When you can’t work: you are pariah...

I get it now. BIGOTRY.

Not having been diagnosed until my mid-thirties with a genetic disorder, I went untreated for years.

Then sometime in my 30's -

IT GOT BAD.

I went from sick to REALLY sick until I finally lost my ability to keep my job.

Along with unemployment came a loss of my identity...(ironic actually because it lead me to my true one)

Suddenly crippled, I was forced to completely start over and reinvent myself FOR THE FIRST TIME.

A shadowy figure holding two theatrical masks, one in each hand, against a soft-focused, illuminated backdrop, creating a mysterious and dramatic effect.

A wooden cross centrally positioned over a background filled with various names and titles attributed to Jesus Christ, written in different fonts and sizes, creating a mosaic of words from Christian theology.

So I embraced that new me...

Adjusted. Adapted.

Then PIVOTED

Some real world examples?

I’m now extremely Health Conscious -

(and not by choice at first)

Drink tons of water.

Eat rabbit food.

Work out regularly. Get good sleep. And walk outside.

I continue to do the inner work. Keep building on my relationships. And TRYING my best to remain focused on positive things -

Each Huuuuuuge improvements

And all good

Yet...

If I could give you just one word of practical advice,

It's this

While DOING these things is fine and all...

I noticed that my best results came from simply opting out of toxicity. Sometimes what you DON’T DO is ten times as powerful as what you DO...

Learn to say no (just a little advanced tip there)

Now I'll be the first to admit...

This totally new lifestyle of mine was a result of being FORCED to adjust to Hereditary Hemochromatosis -

and while embracing my new identity in Jesus Christ.

But you can start making better choices right now Amen.

Just know that if the Most High can do it for me, He can absolutely to it for you too. I'm no one special.

If any of this resonates with you, then I invite you to embrace the transformational power of the Holy Spirit -

You will receive a New identity

You will be given a New name

You will be called Beloved

You will become a new creation. From the inside out.

Call out to HIM and invite messiah Yeshua into your heart.

Radical change can be a good thing my friends (sometimes whether you like it or not). Hallelujah

And that brings me to Digital Dove Media’s beginnings...

HH demanded I begin investigating alternative ways to make money outside of the 9 to 5 -

Didn't really have a choice.

I HAD TO.

And by happenstance I found Digital Marketing, copywriting, and the possibility of doing things different through entrepreneurship

BINGO!

What a blessing in disguise tribulation turned out to be huh?

Without having become disabled?

I would NEVER have discovered copywriting and this strange world of elite online marketers that's a kind of sub-culture within the digital community itself -

And really. It was the Lord who opened my eyes to it

Still...

I know a good thing when I see it

And with Copywriting?

I immediately knew in my heart that I was on to something BIG here. So I began sharpening my skills, practicing my future trade, and working to master my craft -

Day in. Day out.

And I got better. And better.

AND BETTER.

Over time I started getting attention online - from BIG hitters in the industry (it was surreal)

Turns out that at the highest levels of the copywriting game only a handful of people can do it really well...

It’s that person with the rare combination of systemic thinking, empathy, and deep intuition that can reeeeally make the magic happen...

I had potential to fit the bill.

Was eventually offered a once-in-a-lifetime seven-figure opportunity with a HUGE online publisher -

But...

I found myself semi-homeless, broken, and FAR from healed at the time...

And just couldn’t capitalize on it.

I watched that chance-of-a-lifetime slip through my fingers.

BAD. freakin. timing.

A Monarch butterfly in flight casting a large shadow that resembles a Dove, against a gradient gray background, symbolizing transformation and the perception of self.

Close-up of a person’s hands with fingers spread apart, letting fine white sand cascade down smoothly between them, against a dark background, creating a striking visual contrast and a sense of time slipping away.

But NOW...!?

Well...

Things are a bit different now

In the past, I’d refused to put in the necessary effort to become who I should have been...

To become who it is the Most High created me to be...

INSTEAD, I chose to cheat, scam, and hustle my way through life rather than take on any form of personal responsibility and actually DO something positive...

To put in the work

This morally lazy approach worked for a long time, until finally the bill came due in my 30’s my friends -

With STEEP penalties taxes and interest included

It wasn’t pleasant. And I was DONE dude...

No mas!

It was time to try something new:

So after that long, hard look in the mirror years ago I'd decided to start rebuilding myself...

I was finally READY.

Ready to become more.

Ready to put in the work.

Ready to be better.

That was almost five years ago.

Since then, the changes in my life has been so dramatic that I'm almost unrecognizable. A new man in Christ.

Look...am I still afraid?

Heck yeah! TERRIFIED!

Nervous and anxious. BIG TIME!

But I’m working’ on it,

and this time I’m nervous in a good way...

More Realistic. Grounded.

And facing my fears.

In fact one of the scariest things for me to do was to pick back up my drawings, worried I wouldn't be able to sketch a thing after so long...

And if you're wondering, the answer is No

My abilities aren’t exactly what they used to be

Even so...

I DO still have a gift. I’m STILL an artist, and creativity is STILL my forte...

Only these days I'm using WORDS and WEBSITES as my canvas, and EMPATHY as my pencils

It's why Digital Dove Media exists

To nurture that artistic ability within in order to help bring forth Abba's vision into the world -

To create both VALUE and WEALTH through entrepreneurship - and to Glorify God.

That's right...

We bout our Father's business round here!

The money is simply a tool. This business is just a conduit -

I'm a grateful servant of the Most High God. That's all.

And it's not just talk. I stand by this.

Digital Dove Media is pledging 20% of our future annual profits to go towards local churches, charities, and people out there doing good works such as:

> Voice of the Martyrs <

> St. Jude’s Hospital <

> Local food Banks <

> Volunteers of America <

Funding Ministries Online and much Much More...

Not because I HAVE to either.

But because I straight up WANT to.

The religious tithe.

Soldiers for Christ GIVE.

It’s also my personal vision to one day be able to provide safe educational centers for low-income youth

Places where they can THRIVE

A spot for children growing up in neighborhoods like the one that I came from to reach their potential

These kids have little access to the opportunities or resources which would allow them to succeed

It's not fair...

They're diamonds in the rough.

TRUST ME. They deserve better.

And the list of causes I'd like to sow into just goes on from there. God-willing my hope is to one day soon become a Kingdom Financier...

I know. I know.

I guess I'm still a bit of a dreamer at heart. Hopeless romantic actually. But no shame at all in that game - a coat of many colors would actually look pretty good on me :)

Even with all that being said my friends -

You should know, Community Service isn’t my only WHY.

I want to do it for my family too.

I got married at a very young age. Still quasi-together after 25 years of ups, downs, joys, and tragedies.

Beloved, I can relate to the depths of intimacy and the brutal pain of betrayal...

I've been there

Seen the good bad and the ugly. And kept it pushin...

My wife and I have four beautiful children together, and an awesome grandchild who is special needs,

So I know about the patience, love, laughter, and sacrifice it takes to raise a family, and I’ve felt the rewards and blessings that made it all worth it:

Our kids are 4 of the most amazing, creative, and intelligent children -

ALL of whom deserve to receive a quality education, and to live lives of financial security from here on out...

And nooooot to mention that I promised momma a little shopping therapy after this work is up and running

My Corina is waiting for me to build this dream...

Our Creator is demanding that I finally step up and start serving others...

The Community out there is counting on me to manifest abundance into their lives...

And for Myself?

Yeah for sure. A little traveling. A little evangelizing.

Sharing some spectacular experiences with like-minded people. Helping others. Creating some crazy sick art...

And making a few lasting memories is on the menu as well.

I'm doing this to honor what I once had...

For my kids

For Jesus Christ

The Lost. Myself. And a lot of other people too.

To say that I’m motivated at this point is an understatement (and I'm WAY behind schedule).

Two hands reaching towards each other with a glowing cross illuminated by the sunrise in the background, creating an image of spiritual connection and hope.

FOR REAL. My journey has been anything but easy so far

But the truth is that my past has made me perfect for this work, and looking back I can clearly see that I've come out of this whole mess...

Different. REFINED. Tested.

Rooted in the Lord

Strong in body

Galvanized in spirit

And focused on my faith and purpose.

A lifetime of coloring outside the lines has been this sort of awkward, painful, trial-and-error process...

But I wouldn't have had it any other way.

Without a doubt 99.9% of people out there could never even hope to endure a fraction of what I've been through. Most people would've folded

99%

But I made it through

Not because of my own strength, because I 've been set apart for Christ and the good news of the Gospel -

He gave me beauty for ashes and I'm extremely grateful..

And no doubt things are okay.

Praise the Lord for the correction of my soul through the fires of affliction. It was adversity that became a blessing in my life

It allowed me to grow...

NO.

I wasn't ready then.

I definitely am now.

AND NO. I am well aware that success will not come easily -

But greater is He in me than is in the world, and I can do all things through Christ...

It's my promise that I will continue working hard at this. It's a passion of mine...

In fact.

I feel called to it.

I ‘m confident, ready, and I’ve already invested in myself:

My Skillsets. Knowledge. Abilities.

My mindset.

My Endurance and Resilience.

I have faith

I DO NOT give up

I BELIEVE, and for good reason.

All glory to God, along this wild journey I’ve come to realize that despite all the loses, if you simply rely on the Lord and refuse to surrender,

And instead, you continue pushing through the difficulties,

That every once in a great while you hit it BIG

And that single victory makes up for all the suffering, disappointments, losses, and agony of any previous defeats:

It's absolutely worth it.

Victory in Christ was one of those triumphant moments for me...a second chance to get into Digital Marketing is another

Each are huge wins.

And I have plans to share them BOTH

Not in a self-serving way, I have no desire for praise or status,

Actually...

Because of what I’ve been through, I’m still a very shy and reserved person, and I want to give anonymously as much as possible...

In fact, the more I can keep things quiet going forward the better. The good I do is going to be done privately

And I do it for my own reasons:

My love of my God. A past that I’m running from. And a future I’m running towards...Period.

Not to mention

I OWE HIM. Big time.

Silhouette of a solitary figure standing in a field, with a dense foggy atmosphere and the glow of a warm, diffuse sunrise or sunset in the background. The person is looking to the side, and the scene conveys a sense of contemplation or solitude amidst nature.

GOD MADE AN EXCEPTION for me, and if the Most High can do it for someone like me? Without a doubt He can do it for you too

And look. I don't have all the answers...

But absolutely know who does

And I'm going to point you to the Living God each and every time. So whatever you do. DO NOT follow me.

You'll be in big trouble

Quick

In fact. I'm one of the worst.

Instead follow Christ

All I can do is testify of Yahweh's goodness and grace through Salvation in Messiah, and give you a roadmap showing you the path I've been down, with hopes your ministry benefits

And I pray that your online message brings many Many souls to Jesus

Amen?

God has gifted me with many talents, but embarrassingly I neglected my purpose, and instead...

I've used those gifts to lie, cheat, manipulate, and vamboozle my way through life instead of putting them towards doing good in this world...

As a result...

I've left a wake of chaos and destruction behind me as I've passed others along the way:

AGAIN enough is enough! No mas!

When it's all said and done,

I want those closest to me to think back and remember me as a compassionate healer,

someone who gave back more than he took from creation. A man who not only eased the suffering of others,

but also empowered those around him to do the same thing,

I DO NOT want to be remembered by my loved ones as the villain I've been. This is about my legacy and impact.

It's personal.

And I’ve set some seriously big goals to make this a reality

But I need your help...

My dream is to help 1000 Ministries craft BEAUTIFUL, compelling, fun, and grace-filled messages online that testify to the glory and goodness of Messiah.

It's the greatest romance ever told ~ help Digital Dove Media empower God's shepherds to tell it.
