About Larry
Larry Camp is a lifelong lover of Hawaii, music and baseball. Raised in a Mormon family in Southern California, he went on a two-year mission and attended Brigham Young University, where he studied communications. After a brief first marriage, he met his wife Judy, with whom he’s shared over four decades. They raised three children and lived in multiple states, eventually settling in Arizona. Larry spent 22 years in the quick oil change business but always nurtured a deep connection to Hawaii, where they often vacationed and later moved for a few years.
In 2016, Larry began to question his Mormon beliefs after reading church essays, leading him and his family to leave the faith. Tragedy struck when his son Dusty passed away, which deeply impacted the family, especially his other son Crosby. To cope, Larry started the podcast "Nobody Knows Your Story," where he shares life experiences with others. Now, Larry enjoys life in Southern Utah with Judy, playing softball, traveling and spending time with their three grandchildren.

Invictus
William Ernest Henley
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
