Thoai was born in Vietnam. Thoai came to the USA in 1990 with his mom and sister to reunite with his father. He never saw his dad until he was 12. He always felt something was missing. He was raised in Las Vegas, then headed to college in Northern California. There he met many good friends that he still keep in touch until today.
