Robert Allen Polk Jr. was born on October 16, 1996 at Leominster Hospital in Leominster, Massachusetts to Janelle Tanya and Robert Allen Polk Sr. They later moved to Fort Sill, Oklahoma and eventually to Killeen, Texas where he grew up.

He was a student at Killeen High School, and participated in sports from a very young age on throughout high school. His favorite sport was basketball, which he excelled in and frequently becoming MVP.

Robert's spirituality and belief in God came from his family's involvement in the church and being raised by parents who prayed and taught him how to pray as a young child.
