I'm basically a homegrown American.

The goal of my Foundation is to give young people a chance to better themselves and establish a base for a successful future.

I was a quarterback in pee-wee football. I always wanted to be quarterback. They're the leaders, they make the calls. It didn't work out because I didn't have the arm. I also played wide receiver my senior year in high school.

I wanted to perform well for my mom and dad, because in high school, I didn't have a job. My brothers, they worked at Pizza Hut or places like that, but sports, that was my way of giving back.

The best meal at my restaurant is the whole right side of the menu.

Being a reporter and chasing down an assignment isn't an easy thing to do, especially when you're dealing with athletes that are so focused and trying to get their little game plan together to perform under adverse conditions... it's tough.

Playing football and rugby is the Samoan sport. It's part of the conversation at church. It's part of the conversation in their barbershops, in the grocery stores. It's what everyone is aware of and familiar with. They take a lot of pride in the beating you can take in the course of that sport.

Dad taught us about morals, values and goals. Having a tight-knit family was important to him.

My background wasn't one blessed with all the luxuries in life. Nothing is forever and I realize that.
