He grew up in Plover, WI where he attended Stevens Point Area Senior High (SPASH), and was a freestyle state wrestling champion. He then attended college at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay where, while pursuing a biology degree, he began his music career by performing in clubs around the state and soon, throughout the country. After finishing college, he enlisted in the army where after completing airborne school, he was selected for the elite Army Rangers, and then 20th Special Forces Group where he would eventually retire from the military.
