i'm thinking of making him a transplant but i haven't decided exactly from where yet. ultimately, i'm thinking that he didn't see eye to eye a lot particularly with his father and likely moved out of the home young, possibly emancipated. he's going to be about 37 though, an english teacher at the local hs and really into creative-driven, artistic hobbies. for instance, he's played saxophone since he was in junior high school and still picks it up on some weekends to play with a just-for-kicks sort of small jazz group.
