All Tory ever wanted to do was connect with people. He grew up extremely introverted, and with a serious stuttering problem. To top it off, he was in a military family, so being anywhere for more than 3 years wasn't really in the stars. He had every excuse to NOT be the person God designed him to be. And for years he did just that.
When he got over his stuttering and conquered his introversion, he made up for lost time in all the wrong ways - which eventually resulted in a court proceeding that would determine the future of his life. By the grace of God, he was given a chance to do better and has been trying to continue that trend each and every day for the last 10 years.
Tory spends his time pouring into other people like those who poured into him and saved him. His desire to help people make reaching their potential something they do ON PURPOSE.
