Flavio Rodrigues was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, before moving to the U.S. at the age of 16. His father, who retired from the American Consulate General in Rio after serving the U.S. as a journalist for 28 years during the Cold War, convinced him to come to the U.S. at that time to learn English. He moved to Knoxville with his parents, choosing the new city in part because his uncle was pursuing a Ph.D. in engineering at the University of Tennessee at that time.
