Jamin was born to Patrick and Sandy McPhetrige in the Fall of 1981 just outside of Denver, Colorado. After living in Colorado for seven years with parents and older sister, Sarah, Jamin's family relocated to the Birmingham area in Alabama. He has called the city of Helena, Alabama home for more than 30 years, despite his career taking him to Mississippi and Florida. Jamin's travels have led him to this conclusion--"Home is where your friends and family are. Family is the greatest, most valuable part of my life."
He currently resides in his home city of Helena, where he is currently taking care of family obligations. Jamin spends his leisure time tutoring around the Birmingham Metro area, painting, writing music, reading, and quality time with his spoiled-rotten American Staffordshire Terrier mix, Jessie.
