About Your Mentor
Peace,
Im DeVonte, I am a 30 year old Married father of 3. Ive been mentoring youth since I was 18, to be honest even younger. I enlisted in the Marine Corps at age 17, at age 18 I was a platoon leader graduating from Bootcamp. My time in the military was spent learning various mechanic trades such as hydraulic and metal work. As well as training and leading Marines as a work center supervisor. I am a black belt martial arts instructor at Shozen Martial Arts in Riverside, Ca, where I train children of all backgrounds including children with special needs. Also, a Community Health Worker for Little Seeds Matter Non Profit Organization. I have served in various volunteer organizations as a speaker and mentor while in the military and a few church organizations while on civilian duty. I believe firmly my purpose on this earth is to train and help guide the next generation. Ive done this specifically through myself b healing my inner child and through my sons.
My 3 sons are the reason I am motivated to do this work. They have shown me the power of unyielding love and patience. I had my first son at 18, I swore that I would raise him different and with better information than my parents had. At 11 almost 12 years old, our relationship is stronger than any bond ive had outside of my wife and my other sons. The guidance I learned to intentionally seek, to help him on his journey, has added so much value to my own. Through them I've found so much personal growth and inspiration to share my methods with others in hopes to see them prosper as well.
Saying all this to say, I look forward to building with the students I come in contact with through this program. See you in class.
