I whanau a Comey i te Hakihea 14, 1960, i Yonkers, New York, ki nga matua a Joan Marie Comey (née Herald) me J. Brien Comey. Ko tana tupuna, a William J. Comey, he pirihimana, a i muri mai ko te Komihana o te Tari Pirihimana o Yonkers. I neke te whanau ki Allendale, New Jersey, i nga tau moata o te 1970. I mahi tona papa i roto i nga umanga umanga, a ko tana whaea he kaitohutohu rorohiko me te kaihanga whare. He uri a Comey no Ireland. I haere ia ki te Kura Tuarua o Northern Highlands Regional i Allendale; i te tau 1977 ko ia me tona tuakana nga patunga o te whakaekenga o te whare e tetahi tangata hara e kiia ana ko "The Ramsey Rapist". I puta mai a Comey i te College of William and Mary i te 1982, i te nui o te matū me te whakapono. I tirotirohia e tana tuhinga te tohunga o te Reinbuhr Niebuhr me te kaikaika Jerry Falwell, e kii ana i to raatau whakapono i roto i te mahi a te iwi.
