Hank speaks to and works with young adults who are in juvenile detention, as well as with adults who are in prison, to help motivate and inspire them.

Kids in trouble, probably because of my painful upbringing, really touch my heart.  My son spent many years in prison  (sadly because no one realized that his REAL problem was ADHD).  AND I thought that if I couldn’t save my son, perhaps I can help other troubled youth.  And that’s why I formed Hankster’s Kids.
