Family and Friends
I was born and raised in Sunnyvale, CA. My family was born and raised in Hong Kong and moved here over 30 years ago. They have been permanent fixtures in Sunnyvale for over 30 years and run a successful apartment management company. I am a middle child, although I act as if I am the youngest. My younger brother works at a bank in Saratoga and my older sister is a software engineer in San Diego. My peers in the Silicon Valley know me as the “guy who isn’t an engineer”.
Hobbies and Interests
I like to travel, cook, music and photography. I also enjoy Kendo, meaning “Way of the Sword”. It is the modern Japanese martial art of sword fighting based on traditional samurai swordsmanship.
Recent adventures
The last 3 years living in Hawaii was some of the best I have ever had. I appreciated the warmth of the beach, the sound of the ocean and the occasional double rainbows. I will especially miss the ubiquitous fresh sushi and unique blend of Asian cultures. I am planning my next adventure in Machu Pichu.
What I'm Reading and Browsing
I am currently reading Freakonomics and rediscovering my childhood with Calvin and Hobbes comics.
