WHY COACH STARKS???
Religion – I was born and raised with Christian beliefs and practices. But it was not until 2007 when I joined Prayer and Deliverance Ministries and began to discover my true purpose and was started on my journey into living the life I was meant to live. This new journey allowed me to become self-aware and examine my own behaviors, habits, goals and jump start my new beginning. Going through an intensive personal awakening and literally transforming every aspect of my life, inside and out. I have over 16 years of personal first-hand experience walking the journey of personal growth and development.
Volunteer Work - I mentored youth members at Prayer and Deliverance Ministries teaching life skills and serving as a positive role model and friend. I helped youth members to build relationships by planning and participating in activities together. I strived for mutual respect and helped to build self-esteem and motivation. We set goals and worked towards accomplishing them together.

Regina has been critical in development from a 'common thug' to a well respected corporate professional. Any time I need advice, she is my go to. Her advice and mentoring has allowed me to flourish as an IT professional, Project Manager, Husband and awesome Father. She doesn't mind being that 'dose' of reality when times are tough and I think that the world is against me. Her positive mindset has shown me a different style of leadership, effective communication and my influence with all of my endeavors. Don't tell her I said this, but she really ROCKS! Thanks for all of the great support!
