Growing up in Eagan, Minnesota a favorite game among the kids in the neighborhood was cops and robbers. Playing the police officer was always my favorite part of the game.

I was fortunate enough to have two loving grandparents to raise me. My immediate family did not speak English too well so I was taught Cantonese and Vietnamese shortly…

I could never have friends over on Sundays because of the yelling. Even though football has been around me for so long I never really understood the game.
