Max Angstrom was born in Madison, Wisconsin in the spring of 1978, the youngest of two children in the Angstrom household. His life started with humble beginnings - his mother was a secretary for a lawyer in town, and his father worked in manufacturing. Their life as a family was a simple, yet happy one, and while Max was far from spoiled, he still somehow had everything he could have ever wanted. Growing up in a working class family allowed him to appreciate the smaller things in life, to not get caught up in the rat race, or obsessing over material possessions. It allowed him to focus on the important things in life, such as education. Max was hardly the smartest kid in school - but he still worked hard. Outside of the classroom, Max was a talented athlete, taking up sports such as football and soccer from a young age, practicing with his big brother in the backyard on the weekends. Max took a particular liking to soccer, and right on up through high school he rode the wave of athletic stardom as the center forward for his high school's soccer team. He wasn't your typical high school jock meathead, however - Max was an all-around likable guy, the kind of person that people tried to hate, but couldn't, because he was just so darn nice and charismatic. He was more well-rounded than first impressions would let on - in addition to sports, Max enjoyed film and literature. When he was stuck sitting on the bench for long periods of time, during practice or a game, he'd often get odd looks for pulling out a book rather than paying attention and cheering on his fellow players. It became a running joke that Max was sort of like the Clark Kent of his high school, with two separate identities - during school hours he was a bookish, driven student, but on the field he was a machine. After high school, Max attended Northwestern University on an athletic scholarship, majoring in secondary education and English. Upon graduation, Max secured a position teaching high school English in Chicago, a job which he kept for two years before deciding that the big city was just too hectic and too vast for him. He needed to go back to a town that was more his pace - and so he settled in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, just outside of his hometown, and in his mind it was the best decision he could have ever made.
