Troy Campbell: September 2009

Troy Campbell Bio

Troy L. Campbell was born and raised in Compton, California and like many kids in that that area of Los Angeles he was raised on welfare and began a life a crime by age 13. By his late teens he was locked up and forced to think about and plan his own future. It was at that point in his life he decided to turn his life around, educate himself and stop the self-destructive behaviors that were holding him and his family back.

Later after obtaining two college degrees in Criminal Justice, Troy began to give back to his community and started work as an elementary and then high school teacher and counselor. Eventually he rose to the level of Dean of Verbum Dei High School in Los Angeles. Since then Troy has held positions of Vice Principal and consultant to Lifeline Education Charter School in Compton where he honed his techniques by using his past experiences and academic prowess to turn schools around, while offering support and changing the lives of youth in the process.

Upon discovering his own talents of relating and tapping into the issues and the struggles of today’s young people Troy began his own mentoring program, Troy Boy International. Schools, Government Agencies and Corporations are now looking to Troy to aid in solutions for better understanding of the issues plaguing our youth. Newspapers and community leaders gave him the moniker of “The Youth Whisperer” due to the natural abilities he has with the kids he works with.

Troy’s selflessness is evident in the amount of personal time and attention he gives to reach out and help those he meets and those he guides into a future away from the life he knew as a kid. Troy is committed to helping others discover and develop their own innate gifts and abilities.

Troy enjoys life with his wife Teresa and Joshua their son.
