From Brampton, Canada

MrBallen was born in 1989 as he claims he was 31 in 2020. He grew up in Quincy, Massachusetts with at least two sisters. He graduated from high school in 2006, where he later got accepted into the University of Massachusetts because his mother, a professional writer, wrote his essays: he however failed out after one semester. After a lack luster time in high school and at university, MrBallen wanted to do better. He began showing an interest in the military, leading to his mother directing him to her best friend`s brothers, who were both Navy Seals.

MrBallen ended up attending a local college in Boston, where after having graduated at the age of 22, he enlisted to become a Navy Seal. In 2014, while on deployment, he ended up having a grenade land on his shoulder and then fall to the ground, before detonating. He counts his team medic as an "all-star" for being the one to save his life at day. It was after that experience, did MrBallen decide to get out of the service, medically retiring in 2017. He co-founded two organizations that help former operatives, like himself, find jobs, while the other helps people get into the job.
