[edit] Childhood & Early Life
Roberto Miguel Rey Júnior was born in São Paulo, Brazil to Avelina Reisdörfer and engineer Roberto Miguel Rey, an American-born naturalized Brazilian.[1] The family lived in São Paulo until 1974, when Mormon missionaries[2] (more specifically, sci-fi author Orson Scott Card) brought Rey, then twelve years old, and his brother and two sisters[3] to the United States. Rey and his brothers moved to Utah[4] where they were adopted by a religious community.[1] They later moved to Arizona. At sixteen he met with his mother again and they went to live in Prescott, Arizona where he attended Prescott High School.[1] She worked as a janitor to help with Robert’s schooling bills.[2]
About his leaving, Dr. Rey has said: "Meu pai era um monstro, e minha mãe não tinha voz. Estava contentíssimo de sair daquilo."(My father was a monster, and my mother did not have a voice. I was very happy to leave that.)[1] He had had an abusive father.[2] In another interview he said that his father was "a total asshole, a womaniser and a drunk."[3]
