I was born in Moldova which is just next to the Czech Republic to a crack whore and her pimp. I don't remember much of them as my mother gave me away to her brother when I was very young (without my dad knowing) so I would not go down the "path" she did. I lived most of my young years with my uncle in Herzgovina (he was never married). I recall these early years as being "ok" though now that I look back on it there were some odd things. I remember my uncle being very reserved and quiet, and I recall many different cameras and videos around the house. For some reason it was a common hang out for young kids of all ages. Anyway fast foward to 8th grade, I came home one afternoon and the police were at my house. Turns out my uncle kidnapped a younger boy and was filming him with a goat. This child ran away, and made it to safety (he was able to tell the authorities). My uncle was accused of kidnapping/molestation. Later I heard he was actually convicted of killing also (there were numerous bones found in the basment, some donkey). Anyway shortly after this I moved to the states with one of the guys that hung around my uncle's house, Bill. Billy Koppinger and I became good friends and now both live and work in Phoenix. I later found out the Billy was involved in many of my uncles movies, though believe it or not he seems quite normal (besides the odd donkey fetish). This just goes to show you that even though somebody grows up around tragidy, or somebody else blows a donkey they can still lead a somewhat normal life. Thanks for taking the time to read this....
