Diego hails from the Southland; he grew up in Marabella and Vistabella, but was born in Greene Acres San Fernando.

Many teens his age got carried down the wrong path when they were growing up. But Diego was different, he opted to play sports and become a scout, experiences which taught him discipline and helped him stay focused and on the right path. As a scout he represented Trinidad in three scout jamborees playing football. He had a bright and budding sporting career which was cut short when he suffered a hip injury from a car accident.
