Born and raised in the USA. Parents are from China. Was in the varsity High School golf team; voted most improved player (I was real bad). Received a degree in economics from City College. Rupert say's: "Ever since I was a kid I have always dreamed of owning a deli/fountain shop. Maybe it was because I enjoyed food so much. My dream did eventually come true but I never thought it would end up on television." Rupert enjoys playing Ping Pong, surfing the Web, fishing, and trading the stock market.
