His unlikely journey started during a conversation with the owner of one of his favorite burger shops.

Who is Maxx Crosby?

But who is he when the cameras aren't on him? To truly understand the Madd Maxx Crosby we all know and love, we have to go back to where it all began – before the stadium lights, before the screaming fans, before the No. 98.

Life in Focus: Ameer Abdullah

Life in Focus - Ameer Abdullah

Books scattered on the table next to a laptop, crystals laid out on the windowsill, a guitar propped up by the couch, plants soaking up the sunlight on a hot Las Vegas day.
