Jarvis Simms was born in Montgomery, Alabama and raised in Atlanta, Georgia by his pastor father and mother. His core values are based on a Rudyard Kipling poem about keeping calm and trusting oneself when facing doubt or hatred from others. His future goals are to earn bachelor's and master's degrees in public relations, then work for CNN in Atlanta. He enjoys listening to music, creating artwork, photography, and living by the scripture of rejoicing, praying, and giving thanks always.
