He was born in Los Angeles, California as the son of two dwarf parents, who happened to be quiet wealthy. His childhood was divided into two places, one with his parents at Greater Los Angeles, and the other half he lived with a friend’s family at Watts, South Central Los Angeles in order to avoid his problems at home. Since the living standards at his friend’s was pretty low, Shorty started to earn from a young age at also paid for his own studies.

Shorty is not a tall person. He is a dwarf and has a deficiency of height. He measures only 122 cm, which is only 4 feet tall. He has equally short hands and legs/ feet, and his entire body looks like a child except for his face that shows he is a grown man. Due to this physical difference from most of the people, he used to feel very uncomfortable as a young man. “All the children in my class were taller and stronger than me. As I grew up, I found out that nothing about my body developed, and I was embarrassed even to walk out of my house. I confined myself into the four walls, unless I slowly developed the courage to except myself and started living. I even had fights with my family because of their opinion towards me” he said in an interview. As a result of his unusual body, Shorty has never worked out in a gym. He was not involved in any sports particularly, but does practice yoga and meditation; which he started from his school days. Regarding his dating life, there have not been any significant data to talk about. Many have considered him to be sexually gay; and say that he has got a boyfriend. But no confirmation on that subject has been made by anyone and thus the whereabouts of his husband/ wife are not sure. Although it seems like he hasn’t been married yet.
