    Reggie’s BIO

              I was born and partly raised in Philadelphia. My father made it to the United States as a U.S. Navy sailor. As soon as he graduated from High School, my father left the small provincial city of San Pablo and enlisted. He traveled the globe as a sailor and regularly docked at Philadelphia Naval station. My mom, also from the same city, finished nursing (BSN) in University of the Philippines with a full scholarship. My mother was recruited to work in a hospital in Canada. My father having heard this new arrival got into his VW Beetle and left his quarters to pursue a different mission. A couple years later, my older brother and I occupied a majority of space in their house. Mission Accomplished.
