Early life

A product of the Catholic Educational System, he discovered a love for writing in his youth and desired to become a journalist. While writing for his high school newspaper he was criticized by his school adviser for publishing opinionated pieces about religion. His religious writings were often conservative in nature, but at times criticized certain leaders of the Catholic Church. Fearing retaliation which could result in his dismissal from his Catholic High School, he began publishing under the pen name"P.S. Oliver."

It has been speculated that the "P.S." is a tribute to musician Paul Simon since P.S. is a fan. However, according to his blog, the P.S. simply stands for "Pseudonyms Suck."
