he was born and raised in nyc and comes from a good deal of money but most people in portland aren't really aware of that. his mother went missing when he was 14 and he did a 180 from what kind of kid he had been. started hanging out with undesirables and getting into trouble. his grades slipped so much he barely got his hs diploma. left home after that and traveled around, working odd jobs and living wherever he could afford to live. landed in portland about 5 years ago and got hooked up with a fishing charter. ended up buying the guy out at one point and now owns a few small charter boats, one of which he captains. lives in kind of a little craphole house but he's content. can be kind of a moody asshole. little bit harsh at times. very stubborn. can be crude.
