April 24, 1980. My story began in or around Colleton County, South Carolina. I describe myself as a country boy from the sticks. I was curious, energetic, and always wanted to explore what was beyond the familiar roads around me. My childhood was difficult. School was a struggle, and by the seventh grade I had been kicked out. I took risks as a kid and had my share of accidents and injuries. One memory that has stayed with me is accidentally shooting myself in the foot. Those experiences are part of where I came from, but they do not define where I was going. Back then, I could not have known all the turns my life would take. I only knew I wanted to experience more, do more, and find my own way. This is not a story about a perfect beginning or a straight road to success. It is a story about learning, adapting, believing, and continuing to move forward.
