* OneOfUs: He enjoys playing video games himself, and spends a lot of time with the ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' community.

Even though he's not active in anime voice acting [[note]]Mainly due to the fact that San Francisco voice talents are rarely used in anime voice work anymore, which is pretty ironic since [[Creator/VizMedia one of the major anime and manga]] distributors is HQ in San Francisco[[/note]], his Japanese counterpart is Creator/KeijiFujiwara due to their distinct baritone voices, similar typecast, and similar vocal ranges. In addition, he's also the San Francisco counterpart to Los Angeles's Creator/SteveBlum, Dallas's Creator/ChristopherSabat, and Houston's Creator/DavidWald.
