At the young age of 5 years old, Seth would be molested by a teenaged boy at his baby sitters house.

By the time Seth was 10 years old, his mother had become addicted to hard drugs and she was very abusive.

Seth was also molested for nearly 6 straight years until he was almost 16 years old. He ended his silence and reported his abuser in 2011.

After high school, Seth moved on with his life and joined the Army.

He was a member of the 82nd Airborne Division where he trained all around the world, which included a combat deployment to Afghanistan.
