"When I moved away from my father's house and moved in with my mother, nobody, including my mother, would have known the horrors that awaited me. As a child I saw abuse, violence, drug use and gang influence around me. I went through it and the only thing that saved me was the outdoors. I have my father to thank for that. He took my sisters and I out every other weekend to go camping and it was our safe haven. To feel trapped in the city, in the same place that brought pain, was terrible. However, we knew that that day was coming where dad would swoop us up like Superman and take us to the campgrounds and let us explore and take our mind off of the bad stuff going on. Of course, once everyone knew of the things we were going through, my parents got us away from the people who were harming us. The only thing I knew as a constant was that I would be outdoors again, riding my bike or my dirt bike. Hearing the sound of the forest and the creek flowing through the campsite is incredible. The outdoors saved me and showed me there was more to life than gangs and the streets. I hope to show people that there is more out there and to see it with your own eyes is life changing."
