Reverand Julian Toriz grew up in East L.A. and started running with a local gang by the time he was 12. Later in his teens, however, he found God and turned, as he puts it, "from a life of crime to a life of purpose." Ever since he has served as not only a religious and community leader but as a mentor to local youth and families by founding the non-profit organization Metro Kidz and Metro Assembly - Los Angeles, an Assembly of God church.
