Football was a way of life. Brotherhood was everything. And time was never promised.
Aces Are Wild is the true story of two cousins who were more like brothers-bound by football, family, and a shared pursuit of greatness. It's a raw, unfiltered journey through the highs and lows of chasing glory: the wins, the losses, the concussions, and the battles that followed long after the final whistle blew.
This is not just a football memoir. It is a story of mental health struggles, addiction, identity, faith, and survival. Of trauma and rehabilitation. Of learning-slowly and painfully-who you are when the game is gone.
It is a story of suffering and blind faith, but also of laughter, brotherhood, and epic adventures that made it all worth it. Through it all, football remained more than a game-it was a way of life.
