Following an incident where he took a pickup truck and crashed it into a pond, he was arrested and sent to Charlotte County Jail. He was later convicted, transferred to the Florida Department of Corrections, and assigned to work duty. Tragically, his story ended with a loss of his life while in jail. This heartbreaking experience has inspired her to advocate for change.

She is now working to support legislation in Florida to help others. Her story is powerful, and we're grateful to have her here to share it. Thanks for coming on.

I understand Tristan developed signs of schizophrenia later in life, which, as we know, is fairly uncommon. Could you provide some background on how this condition emerged? Were there any early signs in his younger years? And if there was, how did it ultimately develop with his life?
