Rodney was raised in a suburban town of the state of Iowa in the United States of America. Rodney was a mature-aged student facing the loss of a coal refinery job, losing the house, fiance, and overcoming depression. Following support from a licensed mental health counselor in Council Bluffs he broke the mold in his family and completed Associates of Arts at Iowa Western Community College and then proceeded to complete his Bachelor of Social Work degree at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. This would be his saving grace on learning tools how to help others and manage his own trauma symptoms of hyperarousal, sleeplessness, and nightmares. Rodney found his passion for Social Work and community development in Omaha and was able to take a loan out to pursue his Master of Social Work Degree at the University of Sydney, Australia.
