I was born in a log cabin in Kentucky … oh wait that was somebody else. I was born in Pittsburgh,PA and raised in a small coal mining town south of there where I was somewhat of a prodigy. I’m the reason that my school district implemented a “gifted” program because my parents were so relentless. We weren’t rich, but we were happy. Graduating high school at the age of 16 and college at 19, I took on the world until a car accident in 1989 disabled me. I have physical and psychological problems, all of which I’ll talk about.
