I have 2 older brothers, Dieter and Niels. Dieter is the one in this picture, walking on the right. Him and I have gone through many ordeals together, and we've grown from being jealous and bitter to being the best of friends. He currently goes to UC San Diego.

My grandparents are a huge part of my life. They have always been incredibly supportive of me. They cheer for me no matter what I do, and I'd have gone insane a long time ago without them. Their names are Nellis and Gerda. Here they are in the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco.

Another shot of me, my brothers, and my mom. Here we are at Badger Pass in Yosemite. We often go there in the winter to snowboard and ski. Yosemite is a large part of our life here in California, and we go there once a year to reunite the family and have fun.
