His story is a raw tapestry of a troubled youth, the inevitability of a path paved by the mob, and the redemptive power of nature and dreams.

Our conversation with Gunner peels back the layers of his past, revealing the influences that shaped his journey from a schoolyard tough to a young drug dealer, navigating the underbelly of a city rife with danger and opportunity.
