I was born in November 26, 2002 at Porter Medical Center. I'm told I shot out like a torpedo and the doctor caught me. I lived on the 90 degree turn on Old Sawmill Rd in the two story white house with three brothers one six years older than me, the other four, and the last a year and about a half younger than me. I was raised in an environment of Congregational Christianity so I've been raised on good ideals. For the next few years I went to Lincoln Congregational Church in Lincoln, Vermont.

Then I went to a local daycare ish thing at a friends house with another member of the community with us. The daycare thing did do some teaching. That covered the other two days that I didn't go to school and, thus I went to school five days in a row like my older brothers.

Throughout that year we had Ms. Reardon who was a rather happy and upbeat teacher, who in the future would sub for us a few times. This sent me down a path of being introverted to most of the world and school. The next year, first grade, we had Mrs. Young who would later retire, but first was the fourth grade teacher so she was more strict than other first grade teachers would have been. This taught me discipline and that complaining would never get you anywhere in
