Ernest L Sewell, IV is an Oklahoma native (he prefers Oklahoman to Okie), born March 22, 1968. He was raised by strict Baptist parents who divorced after 12 years in 1980. His father, Ernest L Sewell, III remarried to Connie B. Sewell that same August. His mother, Patsy J Rich, remarried a few years later, but only for a couple of months. She remarried again (both husbands were named Tom) in 1986 and at date of publication is still married, as the father and his wife.
After high school, Ernest and his mother came to heads and without notice Ernest moved to Tulsa to live with his father, much to his father's surprise. His father growing tired of him, gave Ernest the choice, "Either you chose a branch of the military to go into, or I'm giving you $20 and dropping you at the bus station." Ernest then chose the US Navy. He served 2 full years aboard the USS Independence CV-62, an aircraft carrier. When discharged, the moved back to Oklahoma City for a short time w/ his mother, who was (temporarily) seperated from her third husband. After a short stay of living with his cousins, he moved to Los Angeles for a year, and was a stage manager for the Believer's Repretory Company, as well as designed lighting and sound for two shows, "Father, Save Your Skin" written by Jane Hoffman, and a Larry Welch play. Ernest received raves from the cast, crew and audience for his nightly-changing lighting in "Father, Save Your Skin". In 1991, he moved back to Tulsa, Oklahoma and remained there until 1997. After a short affair with another man, Ernest lived in a homeless shelter for just under a year and then put himself into Cosmetology School, where he graduated at the top of his class. He worked for JCPenney's, Regis and did freelance work across Tulsa, OK.
March of 1997 saw Ernest moving to Minneapolis, with the help of a friend of Jane Hoffman's. The friend, Marguerite Harris, and Ernest were not the best of friends. Harris constantly maintained a rude and hostile enviornment towards Ernest until he literally "fled" from her home a few months later, moving to St. Paul. After a few months in St. Paul (while working 2 jobs at the Mall of America), he found his landlord Jeffrey Berg (he rented a room in the house) was a convicted child molestor and still traded child porn on a new thing called The Internet. Having found hard evidence of this, he notified the other roommates in the house, Ernest literally fled town to Albany, NY on October 1, 1997.
Ernest has remained in Albany since then, still being a hair stylist on the side as well as working on the computer field. His love of computer, including PC and Apple, have enabled him to expand his knowledge base of hardware and software.
Ernest remains single to this day, is never alone.
