A Gunner's Story

Facing 25 to life as an innocent man gave me purpose and passion. I realized the life I once had , a nice job, cars, clothes, jewelry, parties and a family, is nothing compared to knowing God's calling on life. When most would hide under a rock, I chose to live louder and share my story knowing that God will be glorified.

Derrick Gunner

Founder

The FIG Project was founded in a jail cell with two initial members; God and myself. I vowed to build an organization that fights injustice from the beginning: not after you've done 20 years or took a plea.

Cathy Ginnings

Director

At birth, I was adopted by a loving Christian family, who taught me Godly values. I helped to organize this organization from the ground up after walking through injustice first hand alongside my friend.

Michael Pruitt

Secretary

Leveraging my extensive experience in the Bio-clinical industry I want to ensure the mission of the Fig Project is carried out in the most efficient, impactful, and compassionate way possible.

Richard Torrence

Director

I grew up in Kansas City Missouri in the '70’s. Hard work, ethics and good morals with kindness had a huge impact on my life. I am committed to seek out and find fairness for families. I am also on a mission to reform the child.
