He grew up in America and went to school for a general education, afterward, he found that his worldview went against the norms of the day and searched how to go about changing things. He began to see (from his prospective) how culture was changing for the worse by the actions of the people of influence; he saw his opinion writing and commentating could potentially help affect the world around him positively so he began to write a personal blog. This was picked up by several conservative outlets and his career took off from there.
