<p class="MsoNormal">Rex grew up in Wales the youngest child in a family of three children. RJ never knew his father, who abandoned the family when he was three months old. With the assistance of his grandparents, RJ and his sisters attended public primary school until their fifth year and then were sent to academy’s in England and Scotland. After graduating from an academy in Scotland, RJ performed in a moderately successful rock band in England and Europe. When RJ was 20 he applied to and was accepted into the music and engineering programs at Louisiana State University (LSU) in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA, Earth. While in Baton Rouge, RJ met Elaina Thomassie who he later married while in graduate school. After five years at LSU, RJ graduated and continued his studies at The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, Earth. While there, he married Elaina, who was attending Harvard Law school. Two years after their marriage, Elaina gave birth to fraternal twins Victoria and Sean. Between the demands of law school, marriage, and motherhood, Elaina walked out on the family. The divorce was final when the twins were six months old and three weeks before RJ graduated from MIT. Upon graduation, RJ worked for one year in the aviation industry the US and of world before giving in to his desire to fly the machines he helped design and build. He joined Starfleet balancing his job as father with his duties as a cadet, and the occasional music gig in the clubs near the academy. Now that he has completed his primary Starfleet training, he desires to enter the Advanced Command Training program to further his career and serve the Federation to the best of his abilities.
