He was born and raised in Harlem, New York City’s Pologround Projects.

At the young age of 19, he joined the United
States Marines and became a decorated war veteran by serving in Desert
Storm/Desert shield operation in 1990- 1991.

After receiving an honorable discharge he became a New York City Corrections
