Changed Man

Katie Wendlandt Of Spokane

Kevin Paul Goltz

He may not be famous, he may not be popular, but in my eyes I recognize Kevin Paul Goltz as an everyday hero.

A couple of years ago, when he was going to high school in Seattle, Kevin used to be a cocaine dealer and drank heavily. Because of his actions, he went to jail for a month.

That made him think, so he decided to get clean. He joined Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. He has been clean for almost two years and he recently quit smoking.

He is a totally different guy. I look up to him and respect him. He is one of the nicest people I know and he is a great influence to those around him.

I have learned a lot from Kevin Paul Goltz and I know others have, too. He definitely is an everyday hero to me.
