Hola! My name is Jorge Ernesto Dada, my friends call me Neto, and you can too. I was born in the most beautiful city in Mexico–Tijuana, Baja California in January 1976. When I was two years old, my parents got a divorce which led me to live under the care and loving arms of my grandparents. Fortunately, my parents’ divorce was not the focus of my young childhood. But as I grew older and began to understand that my parents weren’t around, I became very angry at life. This bitterness that began to form in my heart started to penetrate every part of my life.
Then, at 15 years old, my mom brought me to the United States to live with her and start at a new life at a new high school. A recipe for disaster. A completely different country, a different language, a different culture, and an immature mindset that only highlighted my anger. The world was not in my corner. But God was. At sixteen, I met my precious wife. To avoid long details, we’ll fast forward to the important part.
