“What a resilient, dedicated, inspiring, and unforgettable guy. A Mafia teen, shot in the head, ninety days in a coma, drug addiction, prison — then a reinvention, rebirth, a few miracles of the human spirit, now a successful fitness trainer and supporter of service dogs and a father. The stuff of great movies and Zoom interviews…”

John Carter is a personal trainer, motivational speaker, and owner of Titanium Health and Fitness, a private gym in Boston. After surviving a near-fatal gunshot, battling addiction, and enduring the trials of prison, he rebuilt his life and found purpose in helping others overcome their own challenges. Through his fitness programs and speaking engagements, John inspires others with his story of resilience, healing, and transformation. “Triggered to Change” is his first book, sharing his journey from despair to empowerment and the power of second chances.
