Gavin was an all-state baseball player in high school and played a year of semi-pro baseball after graduating. He currently trains to compete in North American Strongman competitions. With tremendous hand strength, he is one of the few people that can take a horseshoe and bend it into a heart shape.
His testimony includes details on staying away from drugs and alcohol and remaining pure to teens and young adults that are faced with peer pressure on a daily basis. Gavin has been an evangelist for over six years.
