In a time that has seen unprecedented levels of mental health issues, low self-esteem and social anxiety, Gregory Andrus provides relief with his message of Hope and Inspiration. Sharing his own riveting story of alcoholism, homelessness and being shot in the head, Gregory shares how discovering his own self-worth led him to becoming a leader of Hope and Inspiration in his community.
Having interviewed thousands of people through his prolific work with Portraits of the Jersey Shore, Gregory has heard - and personally seen unfold - countless stories of people rising up to make a difference in the lives of others, including their own lives.
