When David Carter was a child growing up in Los Angeles, he would sit on the front step of his home and get lost in his own imagination, creating stories and friends that only existed in his head.

His mother, Mary, would watch her youngest son creating make-believe adventures. She always knew he was a dreamer.

"He would always just sit there and talk to himself," she said. "I would always say, 'Hey, (your brothers) Tom and Reggie are right here. Why don't you play with them?' But he would just be there telling his stories to himself. He would always have a smile on his face. I never knew the stories he was creating."

Chances are he wasn't charting his future, a journey that has taken him from Missouri to Los Angeles to the Bay Area and ultimately to Reno, with many stops in between...
