Anthony Godoy spent his childhood in Southern California until a destructive home environment brought him 950 miles north to Children's Home Society of Washington's Cobb Center for Youth in Seattle. He was 8 years old. Under the protective and supportive guidance of legendary counselors Scott Hanouer, Bob Jones, and Katie Blue, Anthony started to feel safe again. His counselors showed him how to play the guitar, taught him how to shoot and develop photos (Cobb had a darkroom at the time), and planted the seeds for a lifelong career in the creative arts.
