everything was football to him, but when he shattered his knee, going pro went completely out the window. at the time, he felt like he was at the lowest point of his life. also during that time, he also managed to take everything for granted, including his girlfriend (or fiance, whichever), which made her leave him. he completely buried himself into writing while in rehab, and eventually moved to la (last year, followed his sister two weeks after her) to make a name for himself. he has james bay credits.
