His father was a weapons merchant. Oft dealing with sales as well as travelling vast distances in order to deliver as well as procure exquisite as well as fine weapons. As this business took place, Garrett never left his father's side, and with this choice, he soon found an immense love for weaponry but things did not cease there; he wanted to know more of the weapons which were both new and old. He lacked the funds to do so--thus, he joined the military at the tender age of 17. All in purpose of supporting his dream.
