Hannibal was born in Seoul, South Korea. He was an average American teenager who played sports, hung out at the mall, played video games, and watched a lot of TV. 

To lead to the start of his company Y-Tech his enlistment in the Army Reserves would play a vital role. So, he decided to join the force. He scored well on the  Armed Services Vocational Aptitude and Battery. 

Jackson went into the Army as a Telecommunications Record Operator (74C) but later on, they turn off that MOS, so he had to choose either to get out of the Reserves or learn as a Counter-Intelligence Special Agent.

The pay given by an Army was quite well so he joined. He joined George Mason University located in Fairfax, Virginia, after his Army training, and carry on to serve in the Army Reserves throughout college and for four years thereafter.

Hannibal committed to Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated, and became involved in community service projects at George Mason University.

In 1999, Hannibal graduated from George Mason with a bachelor’s degree in Communications. To have a college degree he was the first member of his family. After this, he completed his Master’s degree in Information Assurance at the University of Maryland, University College.

Jackson was honored as the George Mason University 2019 Distinguished Black Alumni. He had also accepted the invitation to join GMU’s School of Business, Center for Government Contracting Advisory Board.

Hannibal Name Meaning

Following their two years of love romance, they tied the know in a private ceremony. The function took place at Ebenezer African Methodist Episcopal Church located in Fort Washington, Maryland with a black and white theme. 

After they got married and started planning to have their children they both decided to raise their children on their own despite looking after by someone else. So, Kellie started declining several acting offers to support the Y-Tech vision and she walked away from Hollywood.

They both are always big supporters of each other and respect the decision they had for their families. Once in an interview when Hannibal was asked what was his best decision to date then he answered marrying the woman that he married.
