"Because sometimes the person who saves you… is the one who calls you Dad."
Written for one. Speaks to many.
Ten Truths for the Road Ahead
Ten truths. One son. A life forever changed.
To the Son Who Saved Me is a deeply personal reflection on fatherhood, healing, and the quiet ways love can change a life.
This is not a perfect story. It's a complicated one. The kind where showing up wasn't easy, the circumstances weren't ideal, and the road to becoming a father ran through some hard terrain. But a father showed up anyway. And in doing so, he found himself.
Written as a father speaking directly to his son, not as an expert but as a man who lived it, this book shares ten truths earned through real experience. Lessons about gratitude, honesty, accountability, and what it means to love someone more than you love your own comfort.

I didn't come into this with a blueprint.
I grew up figuring things out as I went. Watching. Learning. Getting it right sometimes and getting it wrong a lot. Then trying again.
For years, music was my outlet. It gave me direction, purpose, and a way to move through life when I didn't always have the words. But eventually, that changed.
Then my son came into my life. Life slowed everything down and forced me to look deeper at who I really was.
I sat still and faced things I had avoided for years. I didn't want to pass anything down that I hadn't dealt with myself. That's where YamEyes Vision was born.
The book. The music. The creativity. YamEyes Vision.
All of it came from the same place.
Years of living, failing, healing, and showing up.
To the Son Who Saved Me is where it landed first.
It won't be the last.
