JV Antrum grew up in Buffalo, NY, where he developed a strong foundation rooted in family and community values. Currently pursuing his law degree, he dedicates his time to academics while passionately engaging with the Word of God.

For JV, faith is not only a personal journey but also a guiding principle that informs his approach to law and justice. He believes that a relationship with Jesus extends beyond individual spirituality; it is about seeking truth and advocating for those in need. His aspiration is to combine his legal career with his faith to create meaningful change, ensuring that everyone he encounters feels respected and valued.
