His father works as a painting contractor, while his mother is a nurse with the intensive care unit of a Kaiser Permanente-run hospital. He walked with a severe limp due to a lifelong leg disability. He graduated from Walnut High School before going on to attend the University of California, Los Angeles. His passions were music, sculpture, drawing, and ceramics; he went to South Korea to study traditional Korean ceramic art after receiving a bachelor's degree from UCLA in 2005. He planned to apply to a master's program in art at Yale University, with the aim of becoming a professor. Outside of his studies, he was active in his church, at which he taught art to children with disabilities.

Famous quotes containing the word life:
“The secret of the truly successful, I believe, is that they learned very early in life how not to be busy. They saw through that adage, repeated to me so often in childhood, that anything worth doing is worth doing well. The truth is, many things are worth doing only in the most slovenly, halfhearted fashion possible, and many other things are not worth doing at all.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“The danger lies in forgetting what we had. The flow between generations becomes a trickle, grandchildren tape-recording grandparents’ memories on special occasions perhaps—no casual storytelling jogged by daily life, there being no shared daily life what with migrations, exiles, diasporas, rendings, the search for work. Or there is a shared daily life riddled with holes of silence.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“The life of man in this world is like the life of a fly in a room filled with 100 boys, each armed with a fly-swatter.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
