When Zach Singer was 14, he was in a near death experience, when him and his father Phillip Singer crashed into a tree. Zach was driving as his father was drinking. This hardship was only the iceberg which later lead to him overcoming an addiction to meth. In 2020, Zach Singer was 90 pounds and was arrested for drug possession and sent to jail. This was the beginning steps of the end of his drug addiction, but the problems only began. He left behind his daughter Riya Belle, 6, who was 4, while also leaving his family behind. “When I was in jail I was thinking I lived one hell of a life if I never sell again,” Zach said.2
