His parents gave birth in a rural canvas cabin, where Carol King held him as a newborn. After a couple years, the family treked north to live life in Alaska. He grew up learning how to live off the land in the early 1980s and later establishing lasting friendships with people he and his family mentored when they had a wilderness camp for troubled youth.
