I was born and raised in Shrewsbury, Missouri, went to Webster Gross High School. After high school, went to Forest Park Community College, played soccer throughout high school and college. From Forest Park, transferred to Culver Stockton College up in Canton, Missouri, to finish my undergrad in sports management and marketing. After school, I moved out to Hawaii for five years, came back briefly to move down to Florida with my then-girlfriend, spent a few years down in southwest Florida, from there went out to San Diego, California for about five years, had two kids, I have two sons, six and three, excuse me.
