Oliver Glass’ first word was “shoes.” 

“I was a goddamn energy ball, wanted to do anything but sit still,” Oliver shares. “(I) spent most of my time outside playing sports and other outdoor tomfoolery.” At a very early age, he realized that when people put on their shoes, they were going outside, which meant playground shenanigans. 

“People tell you that boys are gonna wear you out,” says his mom, Julia Glass. She describes her elder son, Alec, as a kid that was happy with a book. “And then along comes Oliver, and I find out what everybody's talking about.”
