Brian Bateman

I was born in Long Beach California on Oct. 3rd 1987, and lived in Lakeside for eighteen years. Moved to Arkansas and lived there for about three years then moved back to California and lived in La Mesa for several years until I came into a program for an addiction that I had. I entered Teen Challenge of Hot Springs Arkansas in February 9th 2016 and graduated on June 23rd 2017. Since then I have stayed on as first and Intern, and then now as Full Staff speaking to the men and women that walk through our doors with hope, love and forgiveness.

I don't consider myself an author but more of a writer. But this is the first time that I am doing anything remotely like this. I enjoy reading, and now I enjoy writing different and unique stories that others might not have thought of. So please enjoy the ride as I take you on a path not many has tread.
