ROCKY HERRON
HELPING KIDS CHOOSE THEIR FUTURES
English and Spanish Presentations
My mission is to use my life experiences as a DEA agent and a parent of 3 daughters to teach young people:
•Never to start using drugs
•That they can make different choices if they are already using drugs
•That it’s not their fault if they are suffering from someone else’s substance use
•That drug use isn’t normal, even though society makes it seem that way
My message empowers young people to respect their potential in life and to make smart choices. I have delivered my 60-120 minute presentations more than 1,200 times to more than 230,000 students from 11-18 years of age in 17 countries since 2007.
About Rocky
I spent 31 years as a DEA Special Agent investigating drug trafficking at the local, national, and international levels. I strongly believe in the law enforcement mission but I also believe that youth education is the only true way we can get our society to move away from so much suffering from drug abuse.
Upon retiring from DEA in 2021, I accepted a position as “Alcohol and Other Drug Ambassador” for the San Diego County Office of Education. I support the Enrique S. Camarena Educational Foundation as the Director of Outreach. I frequently represent the World Boxing Council (WBC) and WBC University by providing presentations and training resources to boxing communities in the USA and Mexico. I am on the advisory board for The Song For Charlie Foundation.
JOIN THE EFFORT
Drug prevention starts by showing students their potential and how every decision shapes their life. The way we tell the story can make all the difference.
“THE FEEDBACK FROM MY CLASSES ABOUT THE PRESENTATION WAS OVERWHELMINGLY POSITIVE. THE FACTUAL AND VARIED PRESENTATIONAL APPROACH TOUCHED THEIR MINDS… I KNOW IT MADE A DEEP IMPRESSION.”
