Our Story

Details

Trey is an angel sent from heaven. One of two sons added to my life. This young man will tell you quick: I’m smart. Trey truly has the heart of a lion!

Trey

Charles&nbsp;and&nbsp;I&nbsp;met&nbsp;while&nbsp;working&nbsp;for the same&nbsp;emergency&nbsp;center.&nbsp;As&nbsp;time&nbsp;past, we&nbsp;both&nbsp;realized&nbsp;we&nbsp;were&nbsp;so&nbsp;much&nbsp;alike.&nbsp;We&nbsp;both&nbsp;talked&nbsp;about&nbsp;dreams&nbsp;and&nbsp;how&nbsp;to&nbsp;make&nbsp;it&nbsp;big!&nbsp;We&nbsp;both&nbsp;went&nbsp;back&nbsp;to&nbsp;school to the National Association School&nbsp;of Medicine&nbsp;to obtain our NASM Personal&nbsp;Training&nbsp;Licence&nbsp;and&nbsp;now&nbsp;were&nbsp;both&nbsp;certified&nbsp;personel&nbsp;trainers.&nbsp;Charles is a&nbsp;very&nbsp;wise, well&nbsp;groomed&nbsp;friend&nbsp;that&nbsp;continues&nbsp;to&nbsp;give&nbsp;knowledge&nbsp;and&nbsp;inspiration while&nbsp;&nbsp;also&nbsp;&nbsp;being&nbsp;a&nbsp;family&nbsp;man!

Charles Garrett

Johnathon is my younger cousin. Through out my school years we grew up together in a small town called Tyler Texas. Here we found foundation and shared many great memories to last a lifetime. We decided long ago we would move back to Houston because the potential for growth is here.&nbsp;Johnaton is truly a&nbsp;family man and a&nbsp; stand up gentleman. He strives to be successful in in every aspect&nbsp;of life! And I’m truly proud of &nbsp;the young man he has become today!

Johnathon Reed

I&nbsp;don't&nbsp;think&nbsp;there&nbsp;will&nbsp;ever&nbsp;be&nbsp;enough&nbsp;words&nbsp;to&nbsp;describe&nbsp;the&nbsp;bond&nbsp;that&nbsp;my&nbsp;sister&nbsp;and&nbsp;I&nbsp;share.&nbsp;&nbsp;We&nbsp;are&nbsp;four&nbsp;years&nbsp;apart&nbsp;in&nbsp;age&nbsp;and&nbsp;if&nbsp;you&nbsp;ask&nbsp;most&nbsp;(except&nbsp;us)&nbsp;we&nbsp;look&nbsp;very&nbsp;much&nbsp;like&nbsp;twins.&nbsp;&nbsp;Marisa&nbsp;and&nbsp;I&nbsp;have&nbsp;shared&nbsp;many,&nbsp;many&nbsp;hours&nbsp;laughing&nbsp;and&nbsp;finding&nbsp;the&nbsp;joy&nbsp;in&nbsp;sorrow.&nbsp;&nbsp;Our&nbsp;grandmother&nbsp;used&nbsp;to&nbsp;say&nbsp;that&nbsp;we&nbsp;would&nbsp;both&nbsp;go&nbsp;laughing&nbsp;together all the way to heaven and&nbsp;that&nbsp;indeed&nbsp;we&nbsp;probably&nbsp;will&nbsp;do.&nbsp;&nbsp;She&nbsp;has&nbsp;been&nbsp;there&nbsp;for&nbsp;me&nbsp;through&nbsp;thick&nbsp;and&nbsp;thin&nbsp;even&nbsp;though&nbsp;we&nbsp;live&nbsp;2,812&nbsp;miles&nbsp;(4,525&nbsp;km)&nbsp;apart.&nbsp;She&nbsp;knows&nbsp;me&nbsp;well&nbsp;as&nbsp;if&nbsp;we&nbsp;were&nbsp;conjoined&nbsp;twins,&nbsp;lol.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thank&nbsp;goodness&nbsp;for&nbsp;technology&nbsp;because&nbsp;a&nbsp;video&nbsp;call&nbsp;will&nbsp;never&nbsp;be&nbsp;the&nbsp;same&nbsp;without&nbsp;her.

Natasha has been my Bonus sister from Day one! We clicked and hit it off initially when my brother started bringing her around the family 21 years ago. To this day I can still depend on her to be there for me and give me the greatest advice no matter what. Family doesn't always have to be blood and I love her like a true blood sister!&nbsp; If you got to know her you would want her in your life too!!

Natasha Bernard

Delbert&nbsp;is my brother. He’s always been there with me though thick and thin. We seen it all! We started out riding in a&nbsp;small Nissan Sentra and blue jeep singing out the windows of Houston "No limit soldiers; I thought I told ya!" He taught me how to move through life and adapt to any situation at hand. He is&nbsp;also family man that really cares and love his family. We're a team when it comes to this thing called life. What I don’t know, he does. What he doesn’t know, I do. Although we are busy people in this busy life, we enjoy the times we spend together.&nbsp;

Delbert Moss (aka Pop)

One day while remodeling my home I decided I wanted a pool table. So, I went to a selling app called 'Offer up'! Long story short, not only did I get a pool table, but I met a great friend name Cory. Instantly Cory and I started hanging out at bar-b-ques and&nbsp; family events. Before you knew it, I was the Godfather of his newly born son! Cory is a work out guru, strong minded person and puts family first. He spends a great deal of his time being a great father to his children.&nbsp;

Cory Dotrey

I am so glad that my niece graced us with her presence 4 years ago! It is only right that she stands by my side on my wedding day as my flower girl or the "Pretty little princess" that she would call herself, LOL.&nbsp; She has an infectious smile and a personality like an older individual.&nbsp; This little Miss Sassy is a blessing to us all!

Nathania Sampson

Dr. Bharat Mittal and I also met working together in an emergency center. We hit it off from day one!&nbsp;We would look at our schedule to see when we would be working together again.&nbsp; No matter how busy it was at work we always made it fun. His children know me as uncle Chris. Dr. Mittal also is a super workout guru and a married family man with nothing but positivity and a big heart. Just don’t mess with none of his friends and you will make it to see another day!

Dr. Bharat Mittal (aka B- rat)

We attended separate high schools and initially met on the track while Femi was competing in triple jump and I competed in long jump.&nbsp; We cheered each other on and became closer friends as we waited our turns to perform our next jumps.&nbsp; As the years went by we became very good friends.&nbsp; Despite going off to college in a different country, our friendship/bond never wavered no matter how much time passed in between or how far the distance was.&nbsp; I love Femi for her huge heart, beautiful and infectious smile, her caring nature as well as her no nonsense attitude!

Femi James

Felicia and I have been very good friends for 22 years.&nbsp; We first met on the track team at Marshall University and later realized we had many science classes together. We have been through many ups/downs and life changing events together which have eerily been around the same time(s). We have watched each other grow and mature into beautiful, strong parents and partners. We are one in the same in more ways that one. I love Felicia for her honesty, positivity and continued willingness to learn and grow.

Felicia Lewis

Jennifer and I have hit it off from the beginning.&nbsp; I have come to know that she is an important piece in shaping the man that Chris has become today.&nbsp; She is easy going, full of joy and has a gentle heart. Not everyone is blessed to be gaining a great sister in law and friend.&nbsp; I am truly appreciative and happy that God has placed her in my life. I can't wait to share many more memories with her and the family.
