He is from nowhere. That's why he doesn't exist!

That's a good question. People tend to ask that question because they are "from" somewhere. By doing this, people are humanizing God in order to understand God better. However, God is unlike human beings, therefore it is nearly impossible to imagine or understand God. Basically, God always was and always will be... God is not from a specific place as all "places" where created by God. God is the source of all.

Where did God come from?
We can only partially comprehend the notion of God's existence. To do so, we must use human concepts to speak of God: "without beginning or end"; "eternal"; "infinite", etc. The Bible says that He has always existed: " . . . even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God" (Psalm 90:2). And, "Your throne is established from of old; Thou art from everlasting" (Psalm 93:2). Quite simply, God has no beginning and no end. So, where did God come from? He didn't. He always was.
To us, the notion of time is linear. One second follows the next, one minute is after another. We get older, not younger and we cannot repeat the minutes that have passed us by. We have all seen the time lines on charts: early time is on the left and later time is on the right. We see nations, people's lives, and plans mapped out on straight lines from left to right. We see a beginning and an end. But God is "beyond the chart." He has no beginning or end. He simply has always been.
Also, physics has shown that time is a property that is the result of the existence of matter. Time exists when matter exists. Time has even been called the fourth dimension. But God is not matter. In fact, God created matter. He created the universe. So, time began when God created the universe. Before that, God was simply existing and time had no meaning (except conceptually), no relation to Him. Therefore, to ask where God came from is to ask a question that cannot really be applied to God in the first place. Because time has no meaning with God in relation to who He is, eternity is also not something that can be absolutely related to God. God is even beyond eternity.
Eternity is a term that we finite creatures use to express the concept of something that has no end -- and/or no beginning. Since God has no beginning or end, He has no beginning. This is because He is outside of time.

God is the eternal, uncreated essential being, and the first cause of all things.
If he wasn't, then he wouldn't be God.
From the Nicene Creed (regarding Jesus Christ):
... God from God. Light from Light. True God from True God. Begotten, not made. One in being with the Father. Through him all things were made.

God is the sum of the total engery in the universe, everything and everyone is part of that one energy. Time is an illusion,

God is omnipresent. He occupies every inch of the universe and also transends(is outside of) the universe. He never had a beginning and will never have an end. He doesn't come from anywhere. He is everywhere.

Hmmm....
From? Like a place? He is not from anywhere.
To better illustrate. If you circled the globe and ended at the same spot you started from - you went everywhere and got no where....
Get it? No...go have a smoke and think about it....
