Biography

Larry Brey was born on June 30, 1970, in North Carolina. He and his four other siblings grew up in North Carolina, and he only has one sister. Both his father and grandpa both served in the military. His grandfather, Grand Pa Gilman, took part in World War 1 while his father was in the Army reserves. His father was an alcoholic, and it affected everyone in the family, therefore he did not grow up in a happy home. Larry had no choice but to look for a way out, and he found one in wrestling.

Larry was a member of the wrestling team as a teenager, and he excelled. Larry’s older brother also wrestled for the team. He wrestled until he injured his elbow in his freshman year of college. That marked the end of his wrestling career. He spent his entire life trying to escape his problems, especially the problems at home, and he turned to alcohol to do so after his wrestling career ended. Unfortunately, he acted more like his father, and he became an alcoholic until he met Christ.

After he graduated from college, he became a college lecturer at Gardner-Webb University, in Boiling Springs, North Carolina. He was also the University’s director of sports medicine.

In 2018, underwent a major back surgery. He suffered from spinal stenosis, a condition where the spinal cord was being compressed by a narrowing of the spinal canal (vertebrae).  It started with Brey losing feeling and began losing muscle control in both legs and ultimately and to undergo surgery  otherwise he would have been confined to a wheel chair.
