Donnell was born in Washington D.C. and grew up in Alexandria, VA and served in the United States Air Force. He was stationed in South Korea and at Bolling Air Force Base in Washington, D.C. in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The most significant part of his life is being a father to his 7-year-old son, Austen.
