Early life

He was born in Vietnam, Howard Bach came to the U.S. at the age of two, when his father, Cam Sen Bach, emigrated to San Francisco with his family in 1982.[https://web.archive.org/web/20120425021031/http://www.teamusa.org/Athletes/BA/Howard-Bach.aspx teamusa.org] From 1991–1993, he attended Marina Middle School in San Francisco. When he was five years old, Howard Bach was brought by his father to the Golden Gate YMCA in San Francisco's Tenderloin District.
