Personal History		Born in southern Florida, he spent his childhood in backcountry, woods, and swamps. He spent much of his childhood learning to “listen to nature” as his great-great grandfather a medicine man used to say. Papou Renfroe taught Samuel much about herbs and the healing properties of various plants this knowledge would serve him well for the rest of his life as he used the knowledge to save a friend on his hiking trip when they were teens. Had Samuel not known that tiger moss stops bleeding and aids in healing wounds his friend would have either bleed out or died from the resulting infection. His father was the only doctor in any of the three small towns surrounding the reservation. The Family moved into a restored plantation house on 15 acres of land adjacent to the reservation. In addition to their education, Samuel and his brothers helped run the plantation to provide food and such for not only themselves but also to help supplement the local mission. He and his brothers learned much from their great-grandfather and father until their father’s death when Samuel the youngest of the group was only 15. Their father contracted a rare disease on one of his calls to the old-timers on the reservation. The old timer was isolated and had little or no modern technology. The funeral for Fred Jr. was on a dark and rainy day. Frank the oldest of the five brothers took a week off from his last year of medical school. Samuel was hurt more by his father’s sudden passing than anyone knew at the time including him. After the funeral, Frank went back to Med. School, Fred III, Cody, Will, and Samuel worked the farm on the plantation for a while. Cody and Will joined Starfleet 2 months after the funeral. Samuel, who had already started using chewing tobacco almost daily, sank deeply into depression and began drinking heavily. His depression led to more drinking and drinking led to a fit of rage. His father as a doctor had helped almost everyone in the area at one time or another many times for no cost or a simple meal but when his father needed help in Samuel’s mind at least no one tried to help him. He began to lose his faith in humanity. This went on for 2 years until after one night of drinking and being badly beaten in a barroom brawl he passed out near his father is grave where Fred III and his maternal grandfather Elton Massey found him the next morning. They intervened and helped him get his drinking under control. He had always been the most talented in medicine of the group and they convinced him to carry on their father’s legacy and join Star Fleet as a medic he considered over the next year as he became a civilian paramedic. He earned an associate in emergency medicine from the University of Florida, He applied to and was accepted to Starfleet Academy After graduating he served as a medic onboard starship with 3 MACO units and also served on 2 hospital ships before his current posting.
