I was born in Dallas, Texas. At age 3, I moved to Costa Rica. After a year, I moved to Spain. I learned to speak Spanish. I read Mortadelo and Filemon comic books. I ate gusanitos and played volleyball. Twelve years later, after spending a total of ten years in Spain, I moved back to the United States.

I entered American high school as a sophomore, and graduated as a senior. In high school, I read books, played soccer, and thought about stuff. After high school, I attended the California Institute of Technology. I sat through lectures, did long homework sets, and reminisced about the days when I could've had a social life. I versed myself in astronomy/optics/semiconductors, and Chinese language.

After college, I took off to China.
