Reeves begins by recounting how his aspirations took a drastic turn. As a child influenced by missionary tales, he desired to help people. However, a series of unfortunate events—such as financial struggles—led him down a troubling path. After attempting to make moonshine to address his family's financial woes, he transitioned into a drug-running business on a much larger scale, delivering marijuana back from Mexico.
The pivotal moment was his initial $10,000 payday, which lit the fuse for a lifestyle of crime. The allure of quick money drew him deeper into drug trafficking, ultimately making him a pilot for drug transport, an offer made by individuals he’d initially met through those illicit dealings.
