I'm Coach Moody. I'm going to ignite your path with hope so you can begin fulfilling your destiny.
My goal is to help individuals expand their awareness and help them overcome obstacles, self-imposed limitations and mindsets that prevent them from receiving healing and becoming the best version of themselves and to make a powerful difference in this world.
“I survived and conquered life-threatening injuries that were a result of a fatal car accident, which left me in a coma for two weeks, with the inability to walk nor talk.
"The oldest of four siblings, I was raised by a single mother. I earned a full football scholarship to Northern Illinois University and lettered in two sports, as Team Captain."
My vision to inspire and motivate people to overcome adversity was birthed from my own personal circumstances growing up as a child, as well as my professional experiences as a case manager, child care worker and mental health professional in the group home settings while ensuring the safety of the DCFS wards of the State.
