I was born in Riverside and spent my whole growing-up years in Florence, a little township on the Delaware River. I tell people that I'm from the West Coast of New Jersey.

As a legal matter, my mother is an American citizen by birth.

My dad is from Panama; he came to the U.S. in 1971. He came to study chemical engineering at the University of Delaware. He thought he would go back, and then he met my mom here. I was born and mostly raised in Delaware.

I was born in the U.S. This is my country.

I'm from the US of A. Born in Des Moines, raised in the New York suburbs.

I was actually born in New York City, but my family moved to Atlantic City when I was five, this being my dad's home town, so I think that qualifies me as a Jersey resident if not a bona fide native.

I was born in New York.

I was born in New Jersey, but it doesn't sound like I'm from a certain region.

It's very important to me that people see I am an American and I was born in the States.

I am the grandson of immigrants from Japan who went to America, boldly going to a strange new world, seeking new opportunities. My mother was born in Sacramento, California. My father was a San Franciscan. They met and married in Los Angeles, and I was born there.
