He studied at Lane Community College and COCC. At age three Bela wowed his audience playing violin Suzuki style, his music talent inherited from father and father’s parents. He loved the martial arts, was a ninja at heart and had natural abilities with art. He had a passion for baseball, also inherited from father and paternal grandfather, and was an avid Dodgers fan. He excelled in basketball and soccer. His mother primarily raised him in his early life, supporting him in every way. He would often have half dozen friends sleep over at his home, where he also interacted with many foreign students who lived there. At age eleven, he lived six months in Australia with his dad, who shared a teacher exchange. He sky dived and scuba dived with his mother.
