When he spoke to us shortly after the heart attack, he said he began feeling pain in his left arm and chest but went to work. But by the time he got home he felt he had to go to the hospital.

"The cardiologist came in a few hours later and told me I had suffered a major heart attack with up to 95% blockage in my heart," he said.

At the hospital, he had a surgery and later found out he would have to have more stents placed to help his blood flow to his heart.
