I was born in the spring of 1975 in Orange County, California. In 1981, my family moved from California to Florida my father and mother have roots there, and because of a business venture for my dad. From 1989 to 1993 I attended Haines City High School and graduated with honors. For the next year I attended Polk Community College in Winter Haven, FL. From 1994 to 1996 I served a full-time mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, in the Idaho, Pocatello Mission. In 1996 I met Leslie Howell, and the next year we married. In 2000 I began working for Holland & Knight LLP as a programmer, and moved on to InCharge Debt Solutions, Bayshore Solutions, PMSI and Sage Software. I have 3 beautiful boys Micah Jr., Trenton Robert, Jonas Drew, and now a beautiful little girl, Madeline Laney.
