A Week With My Father LLC/ Western Boy

There but for the Grace of God go I. From my inauspicious beginning, to my questionable middle, to my uprising - no matter what I was up to, the God of all creation was there. Born in Newark, NJ, raised in Seattle, back to NJ in the 80s, just in time for the crack cocaine epidemic. Trying to be yourself in the ghetto was a challenge, especially attending Seton Hall Preparatory at an age which most of your peers hadn't even started high school. Several ass-kickings, an Orange belt in Tae Kwon Do, proficiency in Nunchaku - most of the angst and fear subsided. I killed it completely in 1987 when I enlisted in the Marine Corps Reserves. SHU, saw combat in Desert Storm, finished my BA, then off to Los Angeles to pursue my career. Who'd have thought that getting my ass kicked as a teen, would lead to jobs as a stuntman 10 years later? Now approaching 40, yet still getting asked for ID when I purchase my favorite wines, it's been an awesome journey. Can't wait for the next thing God puts into my path!
