Bobby Ticer grew up with his older sister mostly learning how to take care of himself. Back to the time when he was still six years old. He managed to win at almost everything believing that he only tried harder. He served 4 years in the Air Force and received an honorable discharge, and had been offered a medical discharge for technically being blind. Despite having his vision uncorrectable to 20/20, he still won shooting pool and made shots no other players even tried to make. He also began taking interest in economics and nutrition.
