Sudsy Monchik was born in Staten Island, New York and began playing racquetball at age 7. By age 19, he was playing on the pro tour. He's one of four kids. His parents and Jason Mannino's parents owned racquetball clubs, which helped the two boys to develop their games and become lifelong friends. In 2015 the Ecuadorian racquetball association invited Sudsy to teach in their country. Already somewhat fluent in Spanish and ready for adventure, Sudsy moved to Cuenca, Ecuador where he lived for seven years. He met and married one of Ecuador's top players Vero Sotomayor and their two kids Juliana, 5, and Mateo, 3, were born in Ecuador before the family moved to the U.S. in 2022.
