Minnect me, and let's turn an old strip club into a headquarters to fight human trafficking! All Minnect money goes to Helping Captives an anti trafficking agency that specializes in emergency and stabilation care for victims of sex trafficking.
Are you the type of person who wants to leave a legacy in your community thats bigger than just your finances?
Do you want your personal life or business to also have a cause or mission that impacts society?
Do you have an idea of a charity or a foundation but don't know how to implement it?
Do you have dreams of being a philanthropist but don't know who or what to give your funding to?
Do you want to help survivors of human trafficking but havent found an organization you can trust with your funds?
Maybe your crushing it in business but your faith, your family, and your fitness are far from ok.
If any of these are you, I am here to help.
In 2006, I was an addict, a party boy, couldn't commit to any job or relationship for more than two months, and was a high school dropout.
In 2007, I encountered God through a dream and have been speaking and planting ministries and charities ever since.
I am the Founder and CEO of Helping Captives (an anti-trafficking organization in the Pacific Northwest) and Bikers Helping Captives (a motorcycle ministry).
I am a Christian, Husband, Father, Community Leader, and Public Speaker with over 15 years of Non-Profit and Ministry Executive leadership experience.
Over the last 15 years, I have been blessed to lead teams that have led thousands of people into a relationship with Jesus Christ, helped over 200 sex trafficking survivors, raised millions of dollars to implement ministry ideas, opened successful enterprises that include a thrift store, coffee company, and successful events.
God has also allowed me to plant organizations that have overseen hundreds of outreaches to the streets, provided millions of dollars of food to hungry kids and families, helped launch a youth center, opened transitional housing for young adults, and remodeled a schoolhouse to house trafficked victims.
Today, I am working on turning a local closed-down strip club into a facility for emergency and stabilization care for sex trafficked victims.
My biggest desire is to help people figure out their calling to impact our culture for Christ.
If you need advice on how to grow in your faith, get out of addiction, be a better dad or husband, how to implement your ministry idea, or need encouragement. Hit me up; I would love to help.
I am currently using minnect as a fundraising platform for the project. Every dollar that you spend on minnect is going to the charity, so if you want to give $100 to the project please minnect me 10 times.

Founder of The Healing Sanctuary | Breathwork Visionary | Holistic Recovery & Performance Coach
I watched my brother battle addiction, cycling through five rehabs—none addressing the root cause of his pain. His struggle ended in suicide, a devastating loss that fueled my mission to redefine recovery and create real solutions where traditional methods fall short.
Like him, I endured childhood trauma and found that talk therapy and medication alone weren’t enough to heal the deep-seated pain driving addiction, anxiety, and PTSD. I immersed myself in breathwork, integrative medicine, and holistic recovery, unlocking the power of nervous system regulation, self-mastery, and emotional resilience.
In 2020, my wife and I founded The Healing Sanctuary, ushering in a new era in transformative healing. Our wellness center redefines the standard of care for metabolic health and addiction recovery, stress mastery, and trauma healing by integrating science-backed therapies with holistic practices to help individuals break free from destructive cycles and achieve lasting transformation.
Who I Work With
✔ Entrepreneurs & Executives – Master stress, optimize performance, and sustain success.
✔ Athletes – Improve recovery, mental toughness, and longevity.
✔ Couples – Reignite love, connection, and emotional communication.
✔ Young Men (18-35) – Find purpose by developing structure, strength, and emotional resilience.
Healing starts with awareness. Transformation begins the moment you choose it. Let’s talk.

John Hantzis
Hello! I’m here to help with any advice that I can to help you achieve your dream in becoming a professional pilot. With over 23 years of experience in the aviation industry I would like to offer my services to you!
I started my career in Torrance California as a Robinson R22 Helicopter Instructor back in 1999. September 11, 2001 forever changed the shape of the United States and both the commercial and general aviation environments. During that time I had applied to become a helicopter pilot with the U.S. Army. I was accepted and did 8 years as an active duty UH-60 Pilot in a MEDEVAC unit with 3 years combat experience in Iraq, over 200 combat missions, with multiple Air Medals, two of which for achievement.
My career in the Army led me to become a contract Instructor for the military teaching Initial Entry Rotary Wing (IERW- basic helicopter flight) at Fort Novosel (formerly Fort Rucker). That was extremely rewarding teaching over 98 candidates,with 100% pass rate, the joy of flight.
During my time there I applied for US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). That led me on a very eventful career defending the United States Border using aviation tactics and techniques to intercept and interdict targets / threats. Being a pilot is a very small part of this job. I enjoyed working alongside all Federal Law Enforcement Agencies, State Law Enforcement Agencies, and Local Police. I served along the southwestern border, the southeastern Caribbean area and at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) in my 13 years as a Federal Agent. Besides being qualified in defensive tactics and active shooter response techniques as an instructor, I am qualified in over seven airframes in both Rotary Wing and Fixed Wing.
During my time at CBP, I used my GI Bill benefits to get my fixed wing add on ratings both private and commercial single engine. I also achieved a 4 year degree in one year using only one year of benefits using the VA.
After 13 years in the federal government, I qualified for retirement with both my US Army service of eight years and decided to pursue a career with a major airline. So I decided to take a deferred retirement to the age of 62 for all of my federal time to pursue the last mile stone in my career. 
I was first interviewed and accepted by a company that flies cargo in the Boeing 747. I went through training passed it with flying colors and learned about aircraft crew, maintenance, and insurance (AMCI)charter aviation. I transition to the 767 where I did some flying for a big box company that everybody probably knows about and also flew troops all around the island of Japan.
After doing that for two years, one of the big five major airlines called me and now I am happy piloting Airbus aircraft working for one of the most prominent passenger carriers ever in the United States.
I would love to share my experience and help you achieve your dream career in aviation. Please let me know how I can help.

Daniel Bradford
My name is Daniel Bradford and I'm currently in active recovery from drugs and alcohol addiction. I was 10 when I had my first drink of alcohol, 13 my first taste of marijuana, at 14 I was smoking methamphetamine and at 17 I had my first taste of opiates in the form of pain pills. for many many years following I progressed from pain pills to heroin to then fentanyl. all at the same time continuing my meth addiction, a short addiction to crack cocaine and pretty much every drug you can think of. I've dealt with homelessness for some time throughout my addiction, lost my family at one point due to my alcoholism and literally lost everything. I am now 42 years old. I work an active recovery program which maintains my daily sobriety and greatly improves my life!! I have tried getting sober many many times since 2018 and even some prior attempts with little to no luck. I have tried every different way of trying to manage and handle my addiction and alcoholism you could think of to no avail. I lived a reckless dangerous lifestyle that could have gotten me killed on a daily basis. but today I work an active program of recovery that works for me and my purpose now in life is to help others with information or direction how to find the other side of recovery and the miracle of it. through my own experience strength and hope I'm hoping to help educate and inform others on the dangers of addiction to anything and everything and I am currently getting my degree in human services with a chemical dependency certificate so I can be a drug and alcohol counselor. I can tell you through my experience on the streets what works and what doesn't work for me. I greatly look forward to helping anyone with any questions for any types of strategies to help get you on the right track and to live a better and more fruitful life as a contributing member of society as I am today with a fulfilling life. not always a perfect life, but much better than I live before. I love each and everyone of you and I believe in each and every one of you. I also have a YouTube channel dedicated to reaching others in recovery and sharing my story. I have also recently been contacted by a producer at A&E Network who has been following me on YouTube and has cast me in one of their upcoming new shows they're going to have coming out about addiction and Recovery. I look forward to hearing from you!!
