I grew up in Japan as a missionary kid but have lived mainly in Ohio and now live in the Columbus area with my wife and three children. I've always been a thinker and continually questioned things, but my deeper journey into exposing deception began in 2005 after my first child was born. I realized that I owe it to those I am responsible for to know the truth and not just simply believe what I am told. My research has uncovered so much deception I felt I needed an outlet for it, thus my podcast Awake the Iron was born.
