You might say that Brent Holladay’s life has been saved at least three times.

The first was as a teen in Idaho. The youngest of six children, Holladay enjoyed the structure of his Mormon home as a boy. “It was sort of like the Amish, very regimented. But as I got older, it was chafing.” Holladay rebelled, turned to drugs and ran away. “There was a thing called the ‘beyond control’ law, where parents could have their kid arrested,” he said. “I ended up in a foster home.”
