biography.

Dev is the oldest child of Nadine & Paul Raskin, Iron River natives and high school sweethearts, who married right after graduating from Wiggins University. Devin was born a year later, and his younger sibling followed soon after. The family moved into a small, but nice home in the Outpost neighborhood which proved to be the perfect spot to grow up. Soon after they moved in, Dev’s youngest sibling was born, and the family learned to adjust in their already tight quarters. He enjoyed having siblings and would occasionally rough-house with them, though would kill for them anyday. 

Dev was either the loudest or the quietest in the room depending on who he was around, called the shots around his siblings, but kept a level head around his friends. Very rarely did he ever get into trouble, though mischief was had with some of the other kids in his neighborhood - the mystery of who stole Mrs. Shields’ mailbox still remains a mystery to everyone besides those involved in the now infamous crime. 

In high school, Dev explored both academic and extracurricular interests in Debate Club, Drama, Track and Field, and even played a season of Football his Junior year. It was during this time where Devin truly began embracing his sexuality after keeping it hidden from others for so long. Sure, his parents were surprised at first when he came out as bisexual, but all they wanted was for their son to be happy and have supported him unconditionally ever since. 

After graduation, Dev moved out to Los Angeles to attend UCLA, but dropped out after his first year. He wasn’t 100% sure what he wanted to study, or even that he wanted to go to college at all. He moved in with some friends that lived off-campus or had also dropped-out, and began building some connections in the entertainment industry after getting a job as a Production Assistant at one of the major studios. Eventually, he fell into the party scene & began running with some frequent LA partiers & indulging in all the lifestyle had to offer. Eventually, he found himself in some legal troubles, and it wasn’t until his sibling arrived on his doorstep that he woke up and began to get his life back on track. 

Putting the party life behind him, Dev started making efforts to better his life; he got a job in an office, got his own apartment, and started dating a girl he’d met at a movie screening at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. The two fell madly in love and were married two years later, welcoming a daughter the following summer. For the first time in a long time, Dev was truly happy. That is, of course, until he and wife (an L.A. native) disagreed on the fact that Iron River was the perfect place to raise their daughter. After many nights of arguing, discussing compromises, and holding steadfast in their individual opinions, the young couple settled on the difficult decision to divorce. “We both just want very different things; our daughter’s upbringing aside,” his wife (well now, ex-wife) said through tears while placing a hand on his cheek. Dev agreed, and soon enough, the papers were signed, a custody agreement was worked out, and Dev began packing things up for the move back home. 

Currently, Dev & his daughter, Ellie, live with Dev’s parents in his childhood home in the Outpost. He landed a job as a waiter at Ember Downtown, and aspires to help others through difficult times & is taking classes at Wiggins University. His parents & siblings take turns babysitting when Dev’s at work or otherwise unable to care for Ellie. He’s ready for the next chapter of his life & excited to be raising his daughter in his hometown.
