I married Xiaoming (Mia) Xiong aka "the best woman in the world" in 2023.
I play basketball for most of my life so far. My greatest achievement so far is the champion of a three-point contest during my sophomore year in college.
I am a huge fan of Buffalo Bulls basketball team (NCAA D1) and my favorite NBA team is the Houston Rockets.
The Harry Potter series has been my favorite ever since it was released, and my favorite character is Neville Longbottom.
I like travel and road trips. The most amazing place I have ever visited is the Great Pyramid in Egypt.
Outside of academia, the greatest success in my teaching career has been coaching my wife to get her driver’s license!
