Episode 157: The Suffering of Success With Paul Martino

Paul Martino is the picture of success. The loving wife, great family, beautiful home and successful business. Paul owns one of the largest landscape construction companies in NJ building parks, athletic fields, stadiums, synthetic turf and general construction. There has been a lot crammed into the 63 revolutions around the sun.

Paul’s journey began a long time ago, growing up in Bloomfield NJ when he was first introduced to drugs and alcohol. Escalating to more frequent usage and harder drugs, by the time high school rolled around Paul would be considered by most to be an addict. Being an intelligent young man, Paul found a way to manipulate the system and get good grades as well as maintain being the captain of the football team.

All the good things in life were coming his way even though he was a full blown addict and in his senior year, the law came knocking. Being set up by a friend with an undercover narcotics officer, Paul and 19 others were arrested and facing jail time. Somehow through charm, Paul was allowed to attend college but the bad behavior continued and fell into full beast mode. That is where this story just begins.
