Expand Early Life

Hi. My name is _Carrie Coleman__ and I work for Gene Hallman. I would like to propose some additions and trims (lots of trims) to get the page more aligned with Wikipedia's standards, reduce reliance on weak citations, reduce promotionalism, etc. in a manner that conforms with WP:COI. I'd like to start off with a small expansion of the "Education" section, I'd like to expand to "Early life and education" to include when he was born and other details. I've outlined it in a diff below:

1. Education
