About Me
Arman Kaymakcian is an Armenian American author and poet. He was born in New Jersey in the 1980's. He grew up living between his Italian family on his mother's side in Long Branch and his Armenian family in the historic town of Asbury Park. After a wonderful, loving, and adventure filled childhood, at the age of ten Arman suffered through years of childhood sexual abuse at the hands of someone close to the family. Over the next few years, he struggled to make sense of his adolescence and teenage years, cutting himself and selling and using drugs recreationally. After many incidents and problems throughout his high school years he dropped out of school. He took on many odd jobs and implemented the skill of carpet installation he learned during his boyhood from his father Manuk which helped pay the bills on his first apartment in a town called Neptune. In addition to that he began selling narcotics, and slowly became addicted to first prescription pills cocaine,PCP, ecstasy and then finally heroin. But just when he became suicidal and his life looked completely hopeless, and without remedy, Arman read a chapter of the Bible (psalm 88) that caused him to fall to his knees in a psychiatric ward of Monmouth medical center pleading with Jesus to save his life and forgive him of all of his sin. Arman was radically transformed that faithful night, and in one instant he was freed from years of bondage to heroin and a life of drug dealing and pain from abuse and has returned to school to obtain his high school diploma, as well as some college credits. He has been working for a large construction company since 2011 when he first decided to begin brainstorming about writing his debut memoir titled, He Calls Me Redeemed a memoir of childhood sex abuse heroin addiction hope and redemption. Arman now lives quietly with his wife and two sons in the suburbs of New Jersey where he continues to work and attend his local church and is currently writing for future projects including a novella, a children's book and a poem collection. Walk through the rooms of Arman Kaymakcian’s life in this vividly detailed, emotionally charged memoir. Witness the intersection of faith, family, and addiction as Arman stumbles toward manhood in the wake of childhood sexual trauma. He Calls Me Redeemed lays bare the naked truth–no holds barred. An unflinching portrayal of the darkest depths of human experience and the triumph of the human spirit.
