His stepfather, albeit nice to his mother, was abusive to his brother and him. At the age of 15, his mother and his stepfather disowned him and he had to alternate between living at his friend’s house and on the streets for 2 years. His father sent him to live with his aunt Jill when he was 17. Also Read: Who is David Rossi Dating At the End Of Criminal Minds?
