Early Life and Family

On November 13, 1958, he was born in South Gate, California, to his parents, Davis and Dorothy.

His father used to work as a welder, and his mother was a thermostat company supervisor.

He grew up with a brother, Wayne Romar, in one of the harshest societies, no doubt. The young Romar used to live in the areas of gang members in Compton, California.

Compton is one of America’s most populous cities, where street gangs are widespread, including organized crime and extreme poverty.

And these harsh circumstances enabled him to negotiate an urban obstacle course much like a full-court press, where he never panicked or took undue chances.

In one interview, Lorenzo describes his experiences in Compton.

“There are neighborhoods, and everybody has front yards and back yards, but it’s kind of wild there.”

Education

The basketball coach attended his high school education at Saint Pius X in Downey, California. After school, he joined Cerritos College in 1976.

But after two years, he left Cerritos and started playing and studying at the University Of Washington. He played and graduated from the University of Washington in 1980.
