I was born in Washington DC on November 16th 1976. My mother is from the Virginia North Carolina area and my father is from Ohio. My parents moved us back when I was two to Ohio to be closer to my father’s side of the family. We spent a few years in Ohio and then ended up back near DC in Greenbelt, Maryland for the beginning of my kindergarten and elementary school years.

I excelled in soccer and baseball during my middle school years, as well as making a lot of new friends. Middle school was spent in the Lanham area at Robert Goddard middle school. This is where I began leaning into technology. During these years, I was also highly active in dancing and singing.

I spent my high school years in Bowie, Maryland. During these years, I was highly active in baseball and soccer. I was a letterman in soccer for all 4 years, and a varsity third baseman for the baseball team.

I became an electrician after high school, and began learning the trade. During my 20s, I learned the trade as well as Wrote and recorded music on the side. Most of my late 20s and 30s were spent, writing recording, and performing music with my close friends.
