## Resource

From the ashes of Scotland’s post-industrial decay and youth violence, a storyteller emerges—driven by literature, faith, and a fierce love for his homeland. He turned his pain into purpose, working in prisons and schools to heal what was broken, then channeled his grief over lost friends into a mission to expose the opioid crisis through raw, authentic storytelling. Now, he’s adapting his novel into a BBC drama and pursuing a PhD on youth gangs, all while championing the Scots language as a lifeline to identity and resilience. This is the story of how rage, regret, and redemption birthed a new kind of revolution—one track at a time, one word at a time.
