Born in Taipei, Taiwan, he spent several years living in Taiwan until he was accidentally[citation needed] sent to Oneida Baptist Institute, a Christian boarding school in Kentucky. His uncle and aunt, then recent immigrants to Tacoma, Washington, who spoke little English, unwittingly thought it was a prep school but soon learned otherwise.
After leaving Oneida Baptist Institute and moving to Oregon with his parents, Huang began playing table tennis at a club in downtown Portland and at age 15, he placed third in junior doubles at the U.S. Open. He graduated from Aloha High School, located in the western suburbs of Portland.
Huang received his undergraduate degree in electrical engineering from Oregon State University in 1984, and his master's degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1992. While at Oregon State, he met his future wife Lori, his engineering lab partner at the time. Huang has two children, Madison and Spencer.
