| This guy is one of life’s survivors. Someone that can tolerate conditions in his life that would make most just give up. In fact, it often seems that Noah actually thrives in difficult situations, pulling from the challenge rather than caving beneath it's weight. It's this resilience that has left Noah a witty and street savvy person.
Beyond his sharp wit, Noah is a very empathetic soul. He finds great interest in the people around him, and thrives on surrounding himself with friends. His deep desire to be part of things often can lead Noah astray. To often he finds himself among fair-weather friends rather than close ones, and though he is a very perceptive person when it comes to people, he has occasionally found himself burned and used. Sometimes he just fails to see the worst in people, especially girls, and he has a habit of never knowing when to run.

| Noah's life has never been easy. Born into a family setting that was less than stable, Noah was only 17 months old when his mother up and left, leaving her son with a father who had no idea what he was doing. Still, the newly single father did his best, and before long the young police officer found his groove.
Childhood for Noah was a mixture of TV dinners, late night (and disastrous homework sessions) and awkward moments when his father just wasn't prepared for the emotional needs of a young child. Despite this, Noah grew into a well rounded young man, and by the start of junior high he has managed to secure himself a position in the more popular crowd. While he wasn't from the same big money families as some of his more popular peers, Noah's warm personality and silver tongue made him a likeable and sought out guy. he wasn't the best student, nor was he the worst. His grades bounced comfortably between a B and C average, and so long as nothing required to much effort from his rather busy father, things continued to move smoothly.
It was when Noah was 15 that things once again became rocky for his small family. Jennette, his long estranged mother, returned to the picture. His father James welcomed her home with mixed feelings, but Noah was young and naive to his mothers ways. After all, what kind of father would James have been to trash an already absent parent to his sweet natured son? When Jannette left suddenly yet again three months later, it left Noah reeling. James did his best to calm Noah's new found pains. They talked, and Noah didn't blame his father, but deep inside a small seed had been planted. The need to be needed, wanted and most of all, the need to fill the void in his life that his mother had left.
