Hello, my name is Johnny O; Fitness Personality, turned Animal Activist My talents range from
being a drummer to my passion for the Martial Arts.
I was raised by wonderful parents and around positive happy influences. Whether it was dogs,
cats, turtles or rabbits, we always had pets in the house. I feel growing up with and caring for
these animals has made me a better person now in life. My parents taught me that animals are
God’s creatures and I should care for them with love, so my mission now is to do just that and
see that everyone else does.
Unfortunately I went down the wrong path for a while and smoked my first cigarette at the age of
7 – between the ages of 12 and 15 I was smoking pot and was free basing cocaine. Sadly, the list
goes on. I experienced drinking blackouts, not remembering how I got home, not knowing
where I was or even who I was for that matter. I started selling drugs and played in a rock – n-
roll band and living dangerous and fast. Being on this dark side of life, its only a miracle that I
am still here. But I knew God had a plan for me and kept me here for a reason and that reason is
to be up here speaking to you now and help you change the path that you may be on.
I am using my second chance in life to help put an end to abuse, neglect and bullying of animals.
My soul mission in life has become to keep animals safe. II hope by being here today, I have
showed you that no matter what path you have strayed down, you can always choose a different
path to go on and improve your life with that second chance.
