Fez, who grew up in Pinellas Park, Florida, is a big Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tampa Bay Lightning fan and enjoys watching professional wrestling. He is a particularly big fan of Ric Flair, and his stage name may be an allusion to Pez Whatley.
As a little boy Fez was notoriously mocked by other childeren. He was given the nickname, "Fatty Pneumonia", due to being overweight and chronically ill. At the age of eigth he was accosted by "the cane pole gang", two shirtless youths, riding his bike on the way back from a 7-Eleven. They struck him in the head, which caused him to drop his slurpy and spil it onto the ground. The gang then threw his pinkish-purple girl's bike, a hand me down from his sister, into a ditch bending the handle bars. "Fatty Pneumonia" was sent limping home battered, crying, and thirsty.

He reportedy received rave revies from the Pensacola News Journal. In high school Fez played Mr. Bumble in a production of Oliver. He has used his vocal skills on air, singing "It Makes Me Fez," "Harper Valley PTA," and "Facts of Life."

On November 9, 2005, Fez suffered a mild heart attack. Unbeknownst to him, he went on to host The Ron and Fez Show the next day before consulting a doctor where he was informed he had suffered a heart attack and was also diagnosed with diabetes. An angioplasty was performed and Fez returned to the show on November 28, 2005.
