I was born in Albany, Georgia. I have lived in Oceanside & San Clemente, California; Augusta, Georgia; Jacksonville, Hubert, & Greenville, North Carolina; and Ginowan City & Camp Courtney, Okinawa, Japan.

I've lived most of my life in The South, I live currently in G-Vegas, NC, and consider myself from Philadelphia. My parents are both from there.

My paternal great-grandparents came from Pennsylvania German coalminers, my maternal great-grandparents immigrated to America in the early 1900's, coming over from Southern Italy.
