Shorty, 35, grew up in two different worlds – one an upper-middle-class, almost completely white, suburban neighborhood of Los Angeles, with his dwarf parents, and the other the Nickerson Gardens Housing Projects in Watts, a section of South Central Los Angeles, where he lived with a family friend to avoid conflict at home. By the age of 15, Shorty was living on his own.

When Shorty was 18 years old, he was involved in a gang-related shooting and convicted of several felonies. He was sent to a youth facility and later to Folsom State Prison to serve a total sentence of 10 years, 10 months and 10 days. While in prison, Shorty turned his life around, and by the time he was released, he was determined to make something better out of his life.

Looking to make a fresh start, Shorty turned to entertainment jobs and soon learned he could earn lucrative gigs as a little person. Shorty landed his first job in show business at Universal Studios Hollywood as "Alvin" for an Alvin and the Chipmunks stage show. Since then, he has appeared in several commercials and worked on several movies, including 
The Grinch, with Jim Carrey; The Kid, with Bruce Willis; Call Me Claus, with Whoopi Goldberg; and Showtime and Daddy Day Care, with Eddie Murphy, among others. In addition, he has appeared on dozens of TV shows and performed live in theater for years. In 2000, Shorty founded his own company, Shortywood Productions, to provide and manage little people entertainers for all types of shows, private parties and corporate events.
