Fresh Life how we doing?

Such an honor to be here.

I was raised in a small town, 6,000 people in the middle of nowhere,

and I was kind of over-chirched.

And so my dad was Catholic, my mom was Lutheran,

I was involved in a Baptist youth group,

and I just kind of had church coming from all direction and God was kind of this

sheriff in the sky and I was trying to figure out who he was and as I was moving on

that journey I felt like I got to this this place of just sheer identity crisis where I was like okay I don't I don't really know who I am and sometimes I tell people that and they're like that's everybody in high school you know like nobody really has an identity in high school and so I was raised on the farm

20 acres you know and then we had cow cattle in other places and whatnot and so I was involved

in 4-H and FFA those are the agricultural programs yeah I got some 4 4H and FFA. Those are the agricultural programs.

Yeah, I got some 4H, FFA, future farmers here.

Yeah, so I was, you know, showed hogs, chickens, rabbits,

goats, steers, all the things.

But I also had a skateboard and I would ride everywhere both ears piers first tattoo at 14

I thought it was a gangster stole my daddy's gun and I would just take it with me everywhere just in case you wanted to you know start

something started smoking weed you know at an early age started getting drunk at an early

age had a 1979 Mercedes-Benz with hydraulics, said superfly on the back.

Right about at the bins, people are like, oh, identity crisis, like future farmer and hydraulics like what you know they're trying to

reconcile all of that and I just you know so I didn't I didn't really want much to do with

God because I was doing lots of things I didn't want to be judged for that I carried with me into college which in my life turned to addiction, sexual addiction, addiction to pornography, and just things that I was utterly completely and totally

enslaved to.
