“Baby Gorilla” was a nickname I shared with my daughter. But the night she found me face-down on the living room carpet, reeking of booze and shame, her tiny voice using that nickname to ask “why” changed everything.

This book tells my unfiltered story of addiction, recovery, and redemption. From couch-surfing and overdosing in LA, nearly drinking myself to death, to building Gyminny Kids into an eight-figure business that now shapes the lives of thousands of children each week, to becoming a husband and father of five, this journey is proof that pain can be transformed into strength.

Equal parts messy, dark, absurd, real, and hopeful, Baby Gorilla is more than a memoir; it’s a reminder that, no matter how far you’ve fallen, there is always a step forward, and then another.

If you’ve ever felt defined by your weaknesses or wondered whether rebuilding from nothing is possible, this story is for you. Because falling isn’t where hope ends; it’s where redemption begins.
