Our Story

"BABE.....THERE IS SOMEONE STANDING ON THE OVERPASS ABOUT TO JUMP AND COMMIT SUICIDE!!!"


As a "corrections" officer working at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC), our Founder Anthony Scott experienced a variety of things ranging from: multiple personalities of coworkers and those under supervision, many back stories, different demons faced by different individuals struggles, much loss, pain, personal change, growth, camaraderie and a sharpened skill set of verbal judo.  With a background of corrections, personal training and life coaching, Anthony took the term "corrections" seriously. When given the opportunity, he  would exercise those qualities, wearing many hats: from being a listening ear to most, friend to a few, advisor to all willing to listen and personal trainer to many under his watch. Every week, those under Anthony's watch  would get personal training to improve self-worth, mental strength and to create an atmosphere that fostered "correction". During his time at MDC, there was one particular offender who took a real liking to the correctional method used through physical training. Over time  he was given the responsibility of being an assistant to ensure those being trained were being kept track of and held accountable to training. What makes this offender special is that he first arrived on fentanyl and suicide watch in the detox unit, to now being in general population, a few months clean and toned from training with positive plans outside the walls of MDC.  He was able to "get his mind right", a saying Anthony uses when training students and himself. Six months of this routine was maintained until this particular offender was released and hungry to apply this positive energy and new outlook into his life on the outside.

Fast forward almost 7 years later after Anthony left corrections at MDC...

Its a late weekend evening and he is with his wife driving north on coors.  For whatever reason his wife decides to pull over and take the top off of their jeep. As they continue driving, they drive through the Fortuna/Coors intersection and his wife says "BABE.....THERE IS SOMEONE STANDING ON THE OVERPASS ABOUT TO JUMP AND COMMIT SUICIDE!!!"


Anthony tells his wife to pullover and he runs across traffic and makes his way up the staircase leading into the caged overpass and as he gets closer, all he can see is the figure of a young man (mid to late twenties) swaying side to side on top of the caged overpass.  He approaches slowly and is now standing directly underneath the man and he says:


"I don't know who you are, but your life matters and you are important.  I don't think you jumping into traffic is the best way to solve your problems.  I think it would be a better idea if you were to come down from there and we figure out a solution together"


As the young man swayed back and forth with the night wind, Anthony could see him give a hesitant and faint nod in agreement to come down.  The young man walks toward the top of the staircase and the opening of the walk way as Anthony follows below watching his every step knowing if he were to slip, there is nothing he could do but watch the final chapter of his life come to an end into traffic. When he gets to the ledge of the top of the overpass, he jumps down to the top of the staircase and when he stands up and makes eye contact with Anthony he says "I know you"...he takes a few steps closer while squinting as if to get a closer look and says with surprise, "SCOTT!!!" and throws his arms around Anthony with tears in his eyes.  At that moment, Anthony realizes it's the same offender  turned sober personal training assistant  that he had when in the correctional facility.  While embracing Anthony, he says "Scott...just train me again, help me get my mind right".  Shortly after this, the cops show up, but thankfully they know the young man after a few encounters and knows he has been struggling. After it was explained that there was history between the two the cops agreed to allow Anthony handle the situation and left the scene.  The young man proceeded to explain that fentanyl had once again sank its teeth of poison into him and was homeless without a single person in his corner. He said he didnt have any transportation to get to his programs to stay on track. Anthony gave him all the money he had in his wallet and told him to find a place to stay for the night and take some of the money to get transportation to his sobriety program.

That night Haven Of Peace Enterprise and Choice and Chances Trucking Academy was born.


Based on Anthonys prior experience working in the correctional system, he brings those very same skills directly to the people in need. It was clear to him that he now had a responsibility to the very same people he had worked with and the best way to do that would be to guide them to a new walk of life. With the combination of assistance,  opportunity and another CHANCE at life  they are guided to and provided employment in the trucking industry, where there is a desperate need for drivers.
