Serge Nubret spent his first years in Anse-Bertrand, Guadeloupe, in a community of 7,000 people. He moved with his parents to the Paris,
France area in 1950, settling in the community of Joinville-le-Pont, and completing his secondary studies before choosing a business program.
During his adolescence and young adulthood, he quickly became aware of his exceptional potential for athletics and recalls this reflection in
his book I Am…Me and God; in his own words, dedicating himself to bodybuilding was to become his "reason for being." He explains in his
book his destiny of a fixed champion assigned to him by God ["I Am"]. He returned in Guadeloupe in 1958 in order to escape the draft for
the Algerian War. It was during this period of his life he discovered bodybuilding, which he practiced simultaneously while pursuing
business accounting. Bodybuilding was not encouraged by his father at the time who was concerned that it did not have as much
potential for financial income as an accounting career. -Wiki-
