Everyday millions of people lose sight of their dreams when life's gut wrenching curve balls knock them off their feet and out of the game.

Childrey beat all the odds to become an award-winning and respected news journalist, a dream he has had since childhood. In his autobiography, Peeling Back the Layers, Childrey demonstrates his ability to persevere during times of immense struggle by relying on the faith that was instilled in him as a child.
