Personal

 

Shortly after his birth in Honolulu, Hawaii, Motor Mouth moved to Seattle, WA where a 19 year old drunk driver with a suspended license and no insurance would hit and kill both his mother as well as his little brother as she was 7 months pregnant with him at the time. Due to the driver being the daughter of a high ranking police officer, the case was sealed and she walked with not even a misdemeanor. No money would be paid to help compensate the funeral or the loss of their lives.

This caused a domino effect resulting in his spending the better part of his life growing up with zero stability in and out of different homes, attending new schools up to 3 times each year, and rising above the system while battling abuse, neglect, and abandonment. Music would then come to the rescue helping him process a lifetime of obstacles needing to be conquered.

Determined to leave his past behind, Motor Mouth moved out at the age of 16. By age 17, he would be the youngest soldier at Ft. Benning, Georgia enlisted in the US Army Infantry alongside one of his closest and longest standing friends Cory Clark. He went on to successfully complete a tour in the war in Iraq as a .50 CAL gunner and Dismount Machine Gunner on a QRF Team (Quick Reaction Force) receiving numerous badges and medals for his service. A Combat Infantry Badge and Global War On Terrorism Expeditionary Medal would be two of the many. He was discharged honorably.  

His best friend turned brother, Jason Foster, met him at age 18. Shortly thereafter Motor Mouth found he had also been taken in by Bob, Tammy, and Jon Foster as one of their own. Without fail, they have continually stood by his side through every bit of the good and the bad thrown his way and In Iraq alone he received more care packages and letters from the Fosters than everyone else combined. Needless to say, the Fosters will always hold an unmatched position in his life, heart, and family.  

Acting and film have always been his favorite hobbies outside of music and he can often be found working on various projects for photography/videography when not in the studio. He also believes strongly in investing in the lives of underprivileged kids and loves animals.
