Early life and education
He was born in a North Carolina city of Boone Trail to parents Charles Lincoln II and mother, Sue Capps. Link Neal birthday is on 1st June 1978. While at the tender age of two, his parents parted ways and the mother moved in with Jimmy Capps, her high school love. The couple then moved and settled in Buies Creek.
The friendship between Link and Rhett began on the first day in first grade as both got in trouble in school for inscribing on their desk (the two mentioned words like ‘hel’ and ‘dam’, both of which were incorrectly spelt). Their mischevious behaviour, of course, had consequence, and their teacher often gave them a punishment of colouring the pictures of beasts and mythical creatures. At this point, the duo had already become best of buddies in a lifelong friendship that has lasted over 30 years. According to Link, their friendship bond is akin to twins (fraternal) who got separated at birth.

Interestingly, both friends went to Buies Creek Elementary School, same middle school, and finally sat for their high school exams in Harnett Central High School. Later on, both of them got the opportunity to join North Carolina State University, and they were roommates since day one. Afterwards, two of their colleagues, Tim and Gregg, joined them and shared their apartment.
