okay SO dallas isn't from the area originally. wade's uncle is the youngest brother in a family of 3, and dallas' dad. he rolled in to valdosta, ga when he was 18 and immediately got some girl pregnant. the plan was to give the baby up, but dallas' mom took one look at him and couldn't. luckily, wade's dad seth wanted to be involved in his nephew's life so he spent his childhood visiting for weeks at a time with his mom, and in 2005 his mom actually met someone online and they got married and that's how he ended up in the bay area. he's the kind of friend everyone wants, extremely loyal almost to a fault and believes there is good in everyone (including his dad). you can call his ass at 3am and he will come pick you up, he will pay for dinner and drinks when he goes out. he has a best friend, mia (gutierres who he befriended because she was alone and 16 and pregnant and didn't want what happened to his mother to happen to anyone else and basically has helped raise her child, despite not being romantically involved with her since he's dated the same girl on and off for the past few years (lj user=giana) BUT he works for the sharks hockey organization, pretty sports obsessed and loves to be outdoors
