Junior starts off by tracing his life back to being born in Harbor City, California and moving to Ogden, Utah. His ethnic background as a Samoan created very strong family values such as respect for your elders, and his time in Utah was marked by spending lots of time with family. After moving back to California briefly, Junior ended up in Las Vegas when his sister needed help and ended up obtaining his degree in sociology from UNLV.
