J Purkaple

J Purkaple was born Kevin Thomas Purkaple - to Susan (Jett) and Tom Purkaple, of Illinois - at the Hannibal Regional Hospital in Hannibal, Marion County, Missouri, on Wednesday, September 25, 1996, at 1:06 a.m. He is the oldest of his parents' 4 children, including Nathan, Brian, and Hannah Purkaple. His first home was in Winchester, IL. After moving west in 2000, he was raised in Kansas City & Gladstone, Clay County, MO. Christian, conservative, and avid genealogist, Purkaple attributes a great deal of his acting ability and success to Winnetonka's Dr. Sheri Coffman, teacher and mentor, who also instilled in him a great love for the acting craft. Purkaple's adopted one-letter name stands for nothing, and is therefore followed by no period.
