I began to speak well at a very advanced age - 15, 16, 17 years old. It was psychological: the trauma of war, my family and growing up on my own. I was more or less a street kid. ↗

No one knew I was gay growing up but I was bullied. I was a cheerleader, fairly popular and considered straight. ↗

When I'm home, the heart and soul of our family is in the kitchen. Growing up, my parents both worked, so dinnertime was for family - the TV was off. I think it's important to grab that time and really make it special, even after a tough day. ↗

I went through some real challenges growing up. I joined the Army two weeks out of high school when I was 17, and never looked back. ↗
