The vast majority of my family lives in England, on my mom’s side, where they date back many generations of U.K. lineage, with fitting names like James, Thomas, Edward, Frederick, Francis, William and so on. […] My dad’s side is a few generations American but dates back to Austria and Poland. I’m proud of the combination I am.

He has also stated that he has some Greek ancestry.
