He has played competitive basketball his entire life, saying that his team always won first place in league, and during his senior year at Mark Keppel High School his team made it to the California Interscholastic Federation semi-finals with only one player over six feet. He was featured in his local newspaper twice as part of their basketball coverage. Plus, he ran track in high school as well, having gotten his mile down to four minutes eleven seconds.  On the faith side, he works at Virgin Most Powerful Radio where he hosts two shows: "Through His Wounds" and "Thunderous Theological Thursdays."
