History:
Corey was born in Westerville, Ohio to young, single mother. She was still in high school when she had Corey so you can imagine how happy she was about it. Which was to say not very. She didn't want a baby but there wasn't much she could do by the time she found out. Though his mother wasn't about to give up everything for the result of a one night stand at the winter dance. Not at all. She had Corey but instead of giving up her dreams of college and all she gave up him - to her own parents. And so Corey was to be raised by his grandparents while his mother went off to college and went on with her life. Though of course he had no reason to be upset about this as her grandparents cared for him better than his mother ever could. Though that didn't stop her once she was done having fun.
When Corey was seven his mother decided it was time to take him back, he was her son. Though her parents were not so keen on giving the boy back there wasn't much they could do but come and see him when they could and send him boxes of food and toys when they got the chance since they knew he wasn't all that privileged with his mom and her boyfriend. And Corey didn't mind at first since it wasn't so bad. Things only went downhill when his mom decided it was time to move away from Ohio. Go somewhere with more 'options' and it was then that Corey moved with his mother and soon-to-be step-father to New York city. And so off they went, which made his grandparents both concerned and upset.
And so the would be family moved in to an apartment together, here in NYC. His mother eventually got the job working in a store and man who eventually married her got a job as a mechanic. And neither really changed careers and so until this day have the same jobs. Corey however eventually made his way through school without incident, being a rather quiet and shy child actually. Until he got to high school which was when his wild streak appeared. His parents were always busy and there was never much to do and so Corey spent his time with his friend, partying. Until his senior year when some local band, who was a friends of his, had him set up the stage and lights for there gigs. Which was when he realized that he actually really liked doing that. And so Corey took an interest in all things technical, getting the opportunity to use all that equipment and computers that he didn't have at home.
And so it came time for Corey to go to college, which he couldn't be happier about since it meant he could get away from home and break free. He had never really got on with his step father, it wasn't a violent relationship but it was just them arguing and falling out. All the time. Anyway Corey went off to college - majoring in film studies, actually. Though he continued to do his lighting and such for bands who would play on the college campus and surrounding area.
Once Corey graduated he then came back to NYC, finding his own little apartment, it wasn't the best quality or in the best area but he didn't care. It was his own, plus with tattoos and all everyone seemed to assume he was more hardcore than he really was. But now with a place to live he needed to find a job to pay for his rent and food and all his other expenses. He started looking for a job within the music scene which was when he heard Pyromania was touring again and hiring staff and so Corey jumped at the chance to get a job with them. And there we go, that's a pretty sweet sum up of how the kid from Ohio ended up working with the Pyromania label in New York City.
Personality:
Corey is .. outgoing to the max. He enjoys nothing more than being surrounded by his friends, or just nice people, where he can be the center of attention and show off. I suppose you could say it was a flaw. But regardless of the need to be in the limelight he is generally a chilled out guy. He tends to overstep the mark when he meets people but he doesn't aim to offend. He likes to make a good impression - which he usually does unless he's had a few drinks and you're a girl. Then he can sometimes come over as a self-assured ass.
Outside his social skills, of which he has many, he is pretty focused and driven guy. When given a task he will do his utmost to get it done quickly and as well as he can. Unless of course you piss him off before giving him the job, then he'll do jack and just skive off. So yeah, he can be a bit of a dick when you don't treat him how he thinks he deserves to be treated. Which does go to show he is a bit cocky and confident in himself. And this even more exaggerated when he's drunk - then he's pretty sure he's the best damn thing since slice bread.
Outside of his being a cocky, social butterfly type, Corey enjoys his alone time. Sometimes he just likes winding down by himself. He likes to chill out and listen to music, though admittedly this isn't very often. He much prefers parties and the company of other people. But it does sometimes get too much when he's working. Which is quite often, oddly.
