The Past:

“Things are always going to be tough, that’s just life. I just take everything one day at a time and make sure I keep grinding.”

Artie Burns knows what it takes to step up.

When Burns was just 11 years old, his father told him he’d “be right back” as he left the living room. As a result of events that night, the senior Burns is now serving a prison term for drug trafficking.
