He has no religious affiliation and has been working for twelve years. She is currently a retiree from the Department of Conservation (DOC). His family history has been explored below and includes a look at his racial and ethnic roots and the close relatives he has had. His immediate family consists of three brothers and one sister as his siblings. One of his brothers is married to a white woman and his sister has never married but has had affairs and has a white child out of wedlock. The person we are investigating or our subject has two Caucasian children out of wedlock. One of his children is 24 years old while the other is seven years old.
