Growing up in Los Angeles and being a sports enthusiast, the Los Angeles Lakers and Dodgers have always been the teams he has supported. ​He became captivated by the stories of how athletes came to be, and his passion expanded from there. He devotes his leisure time to researching and reading about developing stories that transpire in the realm of sports.
