I was born in Des Moines, Iowa. I grew up in the circus, traveling with
the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey. My dad was a clown and my
mom did aerial ballet. We traveled with the circus for several years,
and then my parents divorced and we went to opposite sides of the
country. My mom went to the East Coast and my dad came out to
California. By the time I was 11 years of age, I lived with my dad. I
went to school out here and studied theater arts. It's always been an
interest of mine. My dad's in computer animation.
