Early Life
Although he was born in Marion, Ohio, Huff grew up in Mineral Wells, Texas. When he was six years old, his father, Aubrey II, was killed as an innocent bystander in a domestic dispute while he was working as an electrician. That left Huff's mother, Fonda, in charge of raising him and his sister, Angela. Growing up, Huff would regularly practice baseball in his yard, which had a batting cage with lights and a pitching machine. He said, " it more to keep me out of trouble." He grew up rooting for the Texas Rangers and frequently attended their games. One of his favorite players was Nolan Ryan. Huff initially attended Mineral Wells High School but then transferred to Brewer High School when his family moved to Fort Worth. Although he was selected to the All-District baseball team in high school, he was better known as a basketball player. He graduated in 1995.

“Many a woman shudders ... at the terrible eclipse of those intellectual powers which in early life seemed prophetic of usefulness and happiness, hence the army of martyrs among our married and unmarried women who, not having cultivated a taste for science, art or literature, form a corps of nervous patients who make fortunes for agreeable physicians ...”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“Names on a list, whose faces I do not recall
But they are gone to early death, who late in school
Distinguished the belt feed lever from the belt holding pawl.”
—Richard Eberhart (b. 1904)
“We can conceive a thinking being to have either many or few perceptions. Suppose the mind to be reduced even below the life of an oyster. Suppose it to have only one perception, as of thirst or hunger. Consider it in that situation. Do you conceive any thing but merely that perception? Have you any notion of self or substance? If not, the addition of other perceptions can never give you that notion.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
