BOY was born in Oklahoma in 1952, just outside of the Seneca-Cayuga Indian Reservation. BOY was the second of four kids born in to Carmel Carl and Charlene's family of traveling carnies who worked the midways, carnivals and fairs throughout the Midwest and South with their concession business selling caramel apples, cotton candy, funnel cakes, and roasted ears of corn on the cob (when in season). When the family business grew to include Charlene's Chicken and Biscuits, BOY learned at his momma's knee her time-tested recipe for buttermilk biscuits and showed such a knack for making them that he came to be known as Biscuit BOY.

When Biscuit Boy was about 16, he fell in love with Dori Rae Rattliffe who was out canvassing for the evangelical crusade of Reverend Ernest Fellows and his Traveling Flock of the Sacred Wounded (The Reverend anointed her the "Flower Child" who would pass out the token Roses of Sharon to the newly-saved converts who came forward during each service.) Boy followed his lovesick heart, leaving Carmel Carl and Charlene to join Fellow's Flock, taking his momma's biscuit recipe with him. For 15 years Biscuit BOY stayed with the flock as an assistant shepherd, serving up his biscuits at tent meetings, until, at one fateful revival in Bakersfield, CA, the Reverend's oldest boy from a previous marriage spilled a story about his father's current double-marriage and shady history of handling donations, the news of which soon found Rev. Fellows serving a chunk of time for Income Tax Fraud.
