New York City resident Woofter, 47, who looks closer to 30, grew up in San Leandro and spent a lot of time in San Francisco, while his now-retired father, Tom Woofter, worked as an attorney in the Financial District. His brother, Matthew Hirotsu Woofter, lived in the Outer Sunset in his 20s and the siblings hung out together a lot, going to nightclubs and sporting events.
