I grew up in Pleasanton and attended Almond Ave Elementary School up to grade 2. After grade 2, I went to schools in Pleasanton and graduated from Amador Valley High School in 2010.

Since 2019, I have coached Boys Volleyball for Livermore High School, and at NorCal Volleyball Club since 2022. I also coached Varsity Girls Volleyball at Livermore High School from 2022-2024. In my free time, I enjoy being in the outdoors as often as I can, being with my amazing wife, enormous dog Dozier (aka Dingus McFartFace), my two cats, Patagonia and Bugaboo, and my bearded dragon Bear Grylls.
