Born in Sol, Australia and after school joined the Army. After 25 years in the Infantry, where every spare credit was saved and invested, he brought a Sidewinder and set out to see the universe after a lifetime on the one planet.
It was the years in the Army that planted the seed of space travel, never being alone in the barracks or moving around an over populated city, resulted in a need to be alone. It was this time alone to contemplate the years in the military and the injuries that built up over time that led to the realisation that space is the only place for him. The lower gravity reduced the stress on his body and was a fountain of youth that reinvigorated the drive and passion to make the most of his life.
Exploration, combat and trade he tried them all and found success in everything. After a few years and much money later he returned home to Sol but could not bring himself to land on his home planet again, instead Mars became his home allowing him to pass his birth home when back in the Sol system.
