Rosaldo is a young driven 30 year sagittarius father of two beautiful girls. He first got inspired to write when he did a small stint in a maximum federal facility two years ago. After reading numerous books, he gained the knowledge that was needed to behold a certain level of conversation. He later met Jason Poole on the inside. He was a bestselling author who influenced and mentored Rosaldo who currently writes under the alias of "Chief" a name given to him by his father from birth. Chief has been homeless on 2 different occasions but no matter what he keeps pushing and never complains. His motto he now lives by is one in which he heard Jason Poole redundantly stressed "Failure does not exist; some people just give up too easily."
