Cirino Gonzalez aka Reno of Alice, Texas was born on March 15th 1977 to Jose and Anna Gonzalez. His parents separated when Cirino was a toddler, Jose raising young Cirino on his own until his father later remarried. Since his father was in the Military, the family was moved around a lot, even living in Panama for a short period of time since Jose was stationed there. Growing up, he was confronted by gangs, which he was determined not to join, instead he left school, earned his GED early at the age of 16, going to community college where he majored in criminal justice with a minor in law enforcement, later working as a court records assistant at the court house in Alice, Texas. Eventually then was hired as a criminal records specialist by the Jim Wells County Sheriffs department.

At the age of 17 he enlisted in the Navy, becoming a Gunners Mate. Attaining Petty Officer Second Class (E5) rank. Stationed on a Navy destroyer, the USS Peterson, during the time of the Kosovo conflict. At this time he received his training on the all the weapons, including missile systems, small arms which were on the destroyer. He married his high school sweetheart straight out of boot camp, having four small children, he decided to leave the Navy after the event of 9/11. He started working as a correction officer at a half way house, when he started to care more about the inmates individual rights more than the actions of his fellow officers, he left his position after being there under in little less than a year. Cirino held down several jobs over the course of time until he signed onto a position as an independent contractor working for the Department of Defense in Iraq as a weapons mechanic, which his experience in the Navy and having special clearance played a role in him securing this job, even though his contract would be cut short due to the fact Cirino was dissatisfied with his higher ups and their lack of commitment to ensure quality control of the weaponry being sent back to the troops, the heads were concerned with cutting corners and saving money, they insisted that test firing should not be made in ensuring the safety and operation of repaired equipment. He gathered his coworkers and discussed these matters before approaching his "bosses" in which they turned around and made death threats towards his life, leaving Iraq in July 2006.

After coming back to stateside, Cirino did some research into the truth movement, and Depleted Uranium, thus becoming an active anti war protester. After some investigation into the Federal Reserve, he became outspoken against the federal income tax, eventually leading him to New Hampshire to stand beside an elderly couple, Ed and Elaine Brown during their standoff with Federal authorities in 2007.

In late July, Cirino left the Browns property, traveling across country helping people and making preparations to head to the middle east and Iraq yet again, but this time to spread the message of Peace. Working with those at Camp Casey, the plans were to build a Peace House. Build and constructed in Iraq by those in the movement to be reconstructed and settled in Crawford, Texas.

September 12th, 2007 Cirino was arrested in his home during a nationwide sting to arrest those whom were public in their support of the elderly Brown couple.
