Don was born on December 19th, 1955 in Sacramento, CA to, Shiu Won Wong and Sun Hong Eng. The youngest of three children, Don was a talented high school football player before going to college at UC Berkeley. Don married Cyndie in 1986 at St. John’s Presbyterian Church in Berkeley, CA.

As a devoted father, Don coached various student sports teams and used his love and skill in photography to capture those memories.
