Family and Early Life

Boogie was born on 24th July 1974 in Saint Paul, Virginia, United States. His father was a coal miner while his mother was a teacher. He has two siblings called Karla and Bryan. He suffered so much physical and mental torture from his mother as a child and he even attempted suicide as a child.

He attended St. Paul’s High School in Virginia and later proceeded to the University of Virginia but dropped before graduating. He was married to Desiree Williams from 2013 t0 2018 when the divorced.

Career

After dropping off from college, Boogie moved to Fayetteville, Arkansas. He was trained on web design and he learned how to code. He made a lot of friends whom he played Magic the Gathering with.

He was diagnosed with lymphedema which required one of his legs to be amputated but he refused. The lack of movement caused him to add a lot of weight and he became obese. He became more depressed when his father died of cancer and his mother had an accident and broke his leg. These events were too much for him and they pushed him to the edge.

He discovered YouTube in 2006 and used the platform for his good. He made videos in his character as Francis and was given a shoutout from Ray William Johnson and this earned him a lot of subscribers and fans from the channel. Draw my Life is one of his most-watched videos. He uses the video to share his life story, how he met his ex-wife after losing his mother. He also opens up about his health and being overweight.

His channel was hacked in 2016 but he was able to recover everything back. He collaborated with McJuggerNuggets to create a series on MCJuggerNuggets YouTube channel that followed Boogie playing the role of a guy with many different personalities- Francis.

His fanbase has been declining recently due to an expose by Christopher Tom a fellow YouTuber who claims that Boogie has been using his online platforms on Twitter, Twitch, and YouTube to manipulate his fans.
