Born July 20, 1980 in Birmingham, Alabama to Jack G. Rumore and Linda Cope Rumore. My parents were divorced when I was 4, I had one sister who was 2. I grew up in a modernistic, perplexed, but still Christian Family, mainly in a suburb called Grason Valley in Birmaingham. I now have 7 brothers and sisters who range from ages 11 to 20. I had and still have many people in my family who were and are possitive influences in my life. Most of all were my many parents, grandparents, and parents of my freinds. Most of all though, is my father Jack Rumore.
My Dad
He still the greatest Christian influence in my life. He is the only person I know with 6 children who still has a shread of sanity. Ask any of my parents and they will tell you that I alone raised enough hell to drive a parent insane. He has also worked his way up in his profession. From an overworked machine mechanic in a bottling factory (thats as far back as I remember anyways). To a position at Mercedes Benz as an overworked member of a "Maintenance Pilot Team" for the new addition to the current Mercede's plant in Vance Alabama. Right before I went to basic training in May 2001, I tagged along on a business trip he had to Detroit, Michigan. It was the first time I ever went further north than Tennessee. He and a group of guys from his work were there for a class on new robots and such. We even went South to Canada from there (I'm not confused, we actually did). That was a great trip, and the last thing my dad and I did together before I went into the service.
My mom is really a great person. Wthout her I would not be who I am today. I lived with her for all of my younger years and most of the teenage ones. And no matter where I am in the world, I know shes at home (or out dancing) worrying about me :) Mom if your reading this, Im mad at you cause you see my old friends way more then I do! Oh yeah, from as far back as I remember, to now 23 years and 3 months later, all my friends have always hit on my mom! My mom as been the other major Christian influence in my life. I love ya mom!
Unfortunately, I as most kids/teenagers, chose to learn from my own mistakes....From an early stage, the only parts of school I enjoyed, were the technologically based classes, and social opportunitys public school provided. I never did very well grade wise, but was good at the social and technical parts. My favorite class ever was telecomunications tought by Mr. Bush at Dabbs Vocational School, and later at Clay/Challkville High. My life overall was in constant chaos from the age of 4 until the present, which is even more intense than all the years before. Christ brings me back to the correct path and carrys me the right way, but still to this day I become lost when set down again.
