Thesis statement help!

Decided to write about Steve-O for my college essay about having a significant influence on me because of how he turned his life around from being a loser and failure to being successful and sober. My thesis statement is "Other than being a Jackass, Stephen "Steve-O" Glover has made an influence on me like no other person.". Please help me and tell me if it is good or what it should be!

Proving himself to be a complete jackass (generic noun), the founder drove into a tree near
