Anderson is the eldest son of the former long term mayor Steven and his wife Brenda Kincaid. Anderson grew up with the elite of Atlas Falls, relying heavily on his last name in order to get what he wanted. His family grew up rich and in opulence there was nothing that he did or did not want. From an early age he knew that he wanted to continue in politics but was thwarted after his father passed when his mother took over wanting to run the business. It ended in disaster and she lost the mayor seat to Walter Fraiser. He and Cara married soon after school, their son Wyatt was born afterwards. Last year Cara, gave birth to a baby girl Poppy.

Anderson has always had a wandering eye from his wife Cara and she often one to look away and forgive his indiscretions. It was revealed early on that he had a long term affair with Talia Rose while she was in college. He and Cara have resided in Pittsburgh for the last few years where he runs a political firm with her and her family. He was hired as Charles’ current campaign manager with Cara’s input. He still isn’t prone to stopping his affair and carried on a recent one with Natasha Hassan. He was horrified when he learned that Cara had pushed her down the stairs at Jackson and Dani’s wedding. Regardless, their marriage is one of political allegiance and he knows that.
