Early life
edit
Konnan was born Carlos Santiago Espada Moises in Santiago, Cuba,[2] of Puerto Rican and Cuban descent.[10] In 1966, he and his mother arrived in Boston. Soon after landing in Boston, she met a young half-Jewish, half-Puerto Rican private investigator from New York named Richard Ashenoff. They soon married, and raised Carlos together. By 1967, the family relocated to Carol City in South Florida. When Richard formally adopted Carlos, he listed Carlos' legal name as Charles Ashenoff.[9]

By 1976, under the influence of older friends and neighbors, Ashenoff had gotten into stealing cars. He learned how to drive at 12, learned to box, and was an "avid weightlifter".[9] Ashenoff was expelled from several schools before landing at Miami Senior High. In 1981, he graduated a year early from Miami Senior High School, and was arrested and charged as a juvenile with credit card theft and motorcycle theft. In 1982, shortly after his 18th birthday, Ashenoff was caught selling drugs and charged as an adult.[9] He was given a choice of going to jail or entering the military. He chose the latter, joining the United States Navy.[11]

After basic training, Ashenoff was relocated to San Diego, and assigned to a destroyer tender in the Pacific Fleet – the USS Cape Cod (AD-43). He won the California state (amateur) Middleweight Boxing Championship in 1983. He set a goal to qualify for the Junior Olympics in boxing, but injured his shoulder in training and was deployed to the Middle East subsequent to the U.S. Embassy bombing in Beirut on April 18, 1983. His ship was in the Strait of Hormuz when the US Marine barracks (along with the French paratrooper barracks) in Beirut were bombed on October 24, 1983.[9] By 1984, the Cape Cod was rotated out of the Persian Gulf. Ashenoff returned to San Diego, and received an honorable discharge.[9][note 1]
