I am the only child of Nida (Neth) Panes-Micu, a caretaker in Los Angeles and Gerardo (Gerry) Subido Micu, a former Navy shipboard engine mechanic and a mechanical engineer throughout the Midwest and Eastern United States. My parents divorced when I was barely starting 7th grade (around September 2001), and I'm just fighting not to repeat that on my end. As of November 24, 2024, I'm a single 35-year-young man hoping to find the best lady to be with (albeit her imperfections in life).
