Beyond his professional endeavors, Lamont is a devoted father and an active member of his church in Buford, Georgia.

Despite the challenges, Lamont's resilience knows no bounds. While his children have yet to witness him walk, his determination shines through as he navigates life from a motorized wheelchair, never wavering in his pursuit of cherished moments with his family.
