Meet the Male Child Abuse Survivor Behind Strong 2 Survive

He was born in a small town in New Mexico and raised in a very religious home. His father is an Evangelical minister and his mother was a good housewife. His father spent a lot of time preaching on the road which strained their marriage and ultimately led to it's end. When they divorced his mother married a monster. He was five when his mother married the step dad. He was twelve when the nightmare was over. 

Now, he is working to help male survivors through advocacy and building a non-profit from the ground up. Additionally, he is also going to school to get a master's in social work so that he can become a counselor upon graduation. He has turned the dark days of the past into something useful. He wants to help others heal themselves and eventually work on prevention and education.
