He grew up in the Lafayette and Castle Hill communities and attended Truman High School in the Bronx, New York. He loved sports and was an avid basketball fan, aspiring to one day becoming a Sports Commentator. His favorite team was the NY Knicks; however, ironically he idolized Kobe Bryant of the LA Lakers.

He had traveled to Puerto Rico; Connecticut; Orlando, FL; Cincinnati, OH; Philadelphia, PA and Atlanta, GA. In January 2004, he moved with his family to Oxon Hill, Maryland, where he met his High School sweetheart, Francesca Haynes. In October 2008, he became a proud father of his first born son, who he loved, cherished and meant the world to him. In February 2019, he relocated to Atlanta, GA, where he worked at Home Depot as a Freight Team Worker. He also worked at Wayfield Foods as a Meat Department Associate and strived towards many great accomplishments towards the future.
