Jodie McGarity Jr

I have been a Youth Advocate as a father/parent coach (30 yrs), coach, mentor, counselor, and speaker (22 yrs) that has helped parents, educators and other youth advocates show youth how to be better versions of themselves.

I was a multisport athlete who grew up in a single-parent home and was taught to work hard and be grateful for what I had while working for a better situation. I didn't take advantage of the opportunities I had and learned a difficult path in my life. I've hurt people along the way, mainly my children based on the decisions I've made in life. I now help families overcome their challenges in life by taking steps to heal to be a positive influence to the youth they impact.
