Slipped through the cracks of special education, graduated high school with a second grade reading level, faced trauma, became incarcerated, started a personal trainer business in his native Pennsylvania, saw the pandemic bring his business to a halt, then took steps to change his life. How? By seeking treatment for his OCD diagnosis, changing his diet, re-committing to healthy nutrition, moving to California and doing something remarkable. Oliver decided to first face the fact that he could not read. He then decided to teach himself to read.
He went even further and decided to document it on social media, his self guided journey to literacy. His story has become a sensation covered by Good morning America, The Los Angeles Times, and Inside Edition. He hopes to inspire others as a motivational & inspirational speaker. He shares his story, as well as his vision, with just Two Dads.
