San Diego, CA - Shawn Garner, also known as “HoodJesus,” is a name that’s making waves in the worlds of finance, credit repair, and social impact. Raised in the tough neighborhoods of Cleveland, Ohio, just blocks away from the legendary Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Garner’s journey is one of resilience, redemption, and an unyielding commitment to self-improvement. Now, he’s using his life experiences to help others escape the cycles of poverty, violence, and hopelessness, empowering individuals to rewrite their own stories.
A product of Cleveland’s unforgiving streets, Garner’s life was defined early on by hardship. After his father’s departure due to substance abuse, his mother worked tirelessly to support him and his brothers, juggling multiple jobs. But with little parental guidance and an innate drive to survive, Shawn found himself in the same traps that consumed those around him—traps of violence, hustling, and eventually, incarceration. At just 18, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison, a moment that marked a turning point and ultimately, the start of his transformation.
Behind bars, Garner discovered his faith and the power of self-education. He read voraciously, devouring books like Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, while also immersing himself in programs on financial literacy, business management, and personal development. He graduated from prison with not only a college degree but a deep sense of purpose and a new understanding of his potential.
Now, as a certified credit repair expert and founder of Masterpiece Solutions, Garner specializes in helping individuals repair and rebuild their financial lives. His unique background allows him to connect with clients on a deeply personal level, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds or facing similar obstacles. Through his “Aggressive Finances” program, Garner teaches the foundational principles of wealth creation, from credit building to strategic investing, pulling clients out of survival mode and empowering them to thrive.
Known as “HoodJesus,” Garner has adopted a persona that blends street smarts with spiritual enlightenment. This alter ego serves as a guide for others, offering a path to prosperity and inner peace. “My goal is not just to repair credit,” says Garner, “but to repair lives. I want people to realize that no matter where you come from, there’s a way out, and it starts with changing your mindset and learning about money as a tool for empowerment.”
As part of his broader mission, Garner founded the Good People Society (GPS), a movement and a brand that promotes ethical business practices and community accountability. Through his nonprofit, WeHood, he provides reentry services, rehabilitation, and support for high-risk youth, veterans, and formerly incarcerated individuals. Garner’s approach is unapologetically polarizing—he challenges societal norms, questions conventional finance methods, and believes in blending street credibility with professional expertise.
Garner’s journey has not been easy. From experiencing PTSD after witnessing the tragic accidental shooting of his best friend to navigating life after prison and facing the challenges of rebuilding from scratch, his story resonates with those who have been marginalized, dismissed, or forgotten. “I’ve been there,” Garner states. “I know what it’s like to feel lost, to make mistakes, and to want something better. But I also know that change is possible when you’re willing to put in the work.”
Today, Shawn Garner lives in San Diego, caring for his father while building a business empire that he envisions will leave a legacy. With an unwavering belief in his vision, he’s setting out to revolutionize credit repair and personal finance. His life, his brand, and his teachings are a testament to what’s possible when someone chooses not just to survive—but to transform.
