Raised in Fullerton, living in Costa Mesa.

One of my best memories is getting the chance to sell programs at game seven of the 2002 World Series - which was the very first postseason game I'd ever attended in any capacity. Yelling "ANGELS WIN!" at the top of my lungs while waving around $20 souvenir programs and celebrating with my fellow Angels fans.

Right up there was getting the chance to throw out the ceremonial first pitch before an Angels game wearing my Halos Heaven "Del Ninja" shirt.

a fan of

Los Angeles Angels Major League Baseball Team

Anaheim Ducks National Hockey League Team
