Raised in rural
Oregon, McCullough’s family were original Oregon settlers in the 1800’s. McCullough was born 8 weeks prematurely and suffered a brain hemorrhage which was missed for nine years resulting in
hydrocephalus, severe headaches, and a significant speech impediment which was corrected with brain surgery at age 10.[26][9] McCullough subsequently retrained himself to speak through high school.[2][3][37] Following his brain surgery, speaking fluently initially also required McCullough to learn and adopt
biofeedback and
meditation techniques at an early age.[9][3] To overcome his stuttering, McCullough also used different accents when needed to for public speaking and stand-up comedy.[26][9]
