Prescott was born on a rural backwater planet. As soon as he could he left for the planet only metropol to live for himself. There he attended high school to become an engineer and journey off into space , paying for the studies with a part time job as a mechanic.
It was hard on him and could not afford much , so he attended dutifully student parties. It was there that he developped a taste ... and a knack , for alcoholic drinks. He limited excesses to a minimum, as he could not afford to lose his job , nor lower his grades. He nonetheless developped a small collection , which is ever growing at present day.
When he graduated from university , it was not with outstanding performance , as it could have been if he had not to have fend off for himself all the while. But it was enough to soon get enlisted aboard a merchant freighter.
From then on he drifted from ship to ship , never staying more than 2 years aboard the same ship. From a line cruiser once to a century old cargo freighter old enough for scrapping , journeying on all kind of ships has broadened his knowledge of ships systems , tinkering and jury rigging.
He has had dealings with opposite sex once in a while but he never got it past the occasional stage. He generally had good relationship with crew members ( techs and non techs alike ) and made himself a good reputation , which eased his job hopping.
Recently he has been hired by some DeWitt guy. Not quite remembering what it exactly it was about , the proposal went at a good time, and he relished the change.
Note : He never stopped somewhere without inquiring about and try to acquire local alcoholic beverage(s).
