Heath Charles Heine, a remarkable individual, entered this world on March 21, 1977, in Waterloo, Iowa, a city rich in history and culture. His birth was a significant event, marking the beginning of a life that would be filled with its fair share of challenges and triumphs. Heath's parents, Robert M. Heine and Lynn K. Baird, played a crucial role in shaping his early years. Robert, a skilled horseman, animal trainer, and film promoter, brought a unique set of skills and experiences to the table. Lynn, a talented professional exotic dancer, added a touch of glamour and sophistication to their household. Tragedy struck when Heath was just twelve years old, as his parents decided to go their separate ways in 1989. This significant life event would have a lasting impact on Heath and his younger sister, Heather.
In the aftermath of the divorce, Heath and Heather found themselves relocating to North Denver with their father. This move would prove to be a turning point in Heath's life, as he was forced to adapt to a new environment and community. North Denver, a city with a rich history and cultural diversity, would provide Heath with a unique backdrop against which he would navigate the challenges of adolescence. Growing up in a community with a high incidence of gang activity, Heath was exposed to a world of violence and criminality at a young age. This exposure would ultimately lead him down a path of criminal activity and frequent run-ins with the law by the time he reached the age of thirteen.
Heath's journey towards self-discovery and personal growth was significantly influenced by his involvement in the world of martial arts, as he successfully attained the prestigious rank of First Degree Blackbelt under the esteemed guidance of Young Duk Choi, a renowned martial arts expert.

In addition to his martial arts pursuits, Heath also explored his creative side by attending an acting class at John F. Kennedy High-school, where he was initially encouraged to participate and develop his acting abilities.
However, despite his enthusiasm and efforts, Heath found himself at odds with the class dynamics, ultimately being asked to leave due to his inability to fit in with the group's expectations.
Undeterred by this setback, Heath turned to comedy as a means of expressing himself and bringing joy to others.
