HOLLA
Rock T, one of the many greats born in Detroit, Mich- igan made his home in Arlington, TX when his family moved; at an early age, he discovered greatness is taken out of the discovery of new ideas and the embracing of notable change. Intrigued with the capability of ask- ing of the why and why not, Rocky Turner was not a child thriving in an “I told you” so type environment and asked many questions in hopes to always getting an understanding.
Set apart from the beginning he knew to wish upon a star meant to be as clear and distinct in the direction of his dreams like a laser emitting light. He became light. In grade school, he was told he was a dreamer. Accused of having his head always in the clouds; wishful think- ing. Instead of being upset, he recognized the greatness and appreciated his dad always reassuring him whatev- er he believed in would come true.
Crediting his father for the instruction of aligning his heart and mind in the same direction on one accord is much more potent in the process of amplification. Be clear, enjoy the process, and invest the time in what is important to you. The end result, the vision will be- come your truth.
A young man growing up in Arlington, TX had two goals for his life: play baseball and be a radio DJ. Both of these; checked off his list; the dreams continuing to flourish only this time influencing much more than ac- colades for himself.

Growing up playing baseball was one of his first loves and careers. As an outfielder at the University of Ar- lington drafted by the New York Mets post-graduation,

this position prepared him for life teaching others how to see the long game. College paid for, check when it comes to draft day within 3 days, and 40 rounds selections in 2017; 721 players from 4-year schools were taken that’s 63.5% according to MLB.com. Being 1 out of about 1200 players to be drafted is pretty dynamic. Sometimes the farther you may appear to be from the picture allows the vision to manifest securing the purpose. Trusting the process of the journey makes the arrival to the destina- tion beast. With school behind him, fire in his heart, and creativity in his mind he set out to begin his second ca- reer.
Going to the largest radio station in the DFW Metro- plex, he was told to perhaps maybe try something in the smaller market before attempting to be with the best. Laughing out loud, he called malarkey and pressed for- ward. No stranger to hard work, An excellent work ethic,
