Born in Ponce, Puerto Rico. My mother Irma died at the age of 28 of gunshots when I was five months old. I met my father when I was around 8 years old and he died when I was approximately 9 . I am the youngest among my bothers Hector and Edwin Rullan (Deceased). I have additional brothers, on my father's side, that I have never met. After my mother was kill, I was raised by my maternal grandmother America for a while and then entered a private orphanage. The orphanage was ran and supervised by Catholic Priests in Ponce and I attended the Colegio Ponceno de Varones.

I completed my high school education in 1968 and began working at a local radio station as a "apprentice DJ and broadcaster".

In 1969 volunteered for the United States Army and took part of my military basic training with my brother Edwin at Fort Jackson, SC. When he was sent to Vietnam in 1969, I was assigned to Fort Riley, KS. He was wounded in action while serving with the 1st CAV and I then volunteered for services in Vietnam.
