The Amish have lots of rules and my dad thought many people in the faith were hypocritical because they'd tell others not to do something and then do it themselves." He continued that he almost died as an infant when he was found unresponsive in his crib, quoted as, "As we were Amish, we only had a horse and buggy [carriage] to get to the hospital, but that wasn't going to be quick enough so we borrowed my aunt's car. My parents were told there was nothing that could be done and Dad whisked me away to another hospital, where I was put in an oxygen tent, and thankfully I recovered." + +He told [[HuffPost|Huffington Post]] of the incident: "My dad got home from work and he checked up on me, and I was all blue.
