Early Life

Born in Gyeonggi-Do, South Korea to a 16-year-old middle-school dropout. A stranger to his birth-grandfather, and abandoned by his birthfather, the unimaginable shame and impoverished lifestyle his birthmother had experienced in Korea prompted her to give him up for private Adoption with the United States of America based agency (Defunct as of 2023), Dillon International. Adopted by a loving family and raised Garrett Dae Hee (대 희) Edmark. His family kept my birth name Dae Hee (대 희) as a middle name which has developed to be a symbolically representative reminder to the duality in his journey. His parents had blessed him with a life otherwise incomprehensible to anything his birth mother could have provided me. For so long he had held resentment towards his birth mother, but as an adult, He's realized that she had selflessly given up her first-born son as the only path to the provision of a normal childhood, opportunity and family that she could never provide or experience. In Korea, he may have followed the same journey of my birthmother, dropping out at 13 years of age and becoming a parent at 16 years of age; however, with her sacrifice he was able to fulfill the potential she was never able to.

In his early years, He avidly participated in sport and developed an affinity for physical exercise. As he got older, he began participating in sport year-round. In year 4, He transferred from his public elementary school to a low-enrollment private Christian school. From there he began to develop an interest in YouTube and participating in year UIL 8 basketball and soccer. At the end of year 5, he developed an affinity for creative arts such as video creation, drawing and writing to where his parents enrolled me into an Art-centric Charter School for year 6. Returning to Public School for year 7 up until year 10. He continued his interest in creative arts and sport. Halfway through year 10, He began homeschooling with Penn Foster Highschool and began high-hour part-time work at his local carwash in Stone Oak, after he had begun my homeschooling curriculum.
