he's 30 years old and originally from alhambra, but went to college at ucsb. he majored in writing, went to grad school for a hot minute for it, but he was caught up in partying and drugs and was even selling for awhile. he had some near overdose experiences, trusted his bad influence friends too much, and ended up going away to prison for 5 years. he just got out this month, but he and his boyfriend lived in redwood for a full year prior to him going in. so he was around town at the end of 2012 to the end of 2013, but went away to prison shortly after that. he doesn't see himself as a bad guy, he's nice and fun to be around, but he just makes bad decisions.
