As a child Garrett chose athletics and with a strong competition excelled in sports such as baseball, basketball, football and especially soccer. His instinctive competitiveness grew a rebellious nature in him which left him no stranger to fights and a distrust of authority as a youth. Graduating high school Garrett played soccer and traveled all over Europe and in minor leagues pursuing his life long dream as a professional soccer player. After a serious ankle injury he was forced to take a break and traveled back to the states.
