I was born in Corvallis Oregon, as a kid I grew up in Los Angeles California. We moved a lot so each time I had to make new friends. I hung out with my brother Derrick too. My brothers David and Keith came later. When we moved to Boston my father didn't get the job he wanted so we were very poor for months. Then the job came through. In High School I had to babysit my younger brothers who said tell us a story. From those stories became The Amazing Adventures of Jimmy Jumpferjoy story.
