| 0:05.8 | I thought we'd start from the beginning. |
| 0:07.2 | Sure. And the first question I have is, what was it like growing up in your family? You live downtown in Spokane and mom and dad and you have four siblings, your second out of five. |
| 0:21.0 | You're Japanese American, what's it like growing up in your family? |
| 0:25.2 | First of all, I had great parents, hardworking, humble parents, proud parents. |
