I wanna know, like, what were you naturally drawn to, and are you seeing those qualities show up now in your work?

Yeah, so, you know, at a young age, uh, I grew up as a, in a single-parent family.

I was an only child.

And, uh, actually, my mother got me into, uh, martial arts at a young age, at about seven years old.

Uh, she wanted me to be around, um, other men, father figures, um, and learn some self-discipline, honestly.

That was a really big part of my upbringing.

Um, uh, I started, you know, really getting into, uh, physical fitness and also karate competitions.

Mm.
