About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Do what I am I'm destined to do in life

ABOUT ME

I spent my formative years in Guangdong, China. When I was 12, my family moved to the United States. Boston is what I called home now.

I spent a few years working as an engineer at a big firm and realized life should be more about than just making a living.

So, I quit my job, spent the the past months traveling, learning about people, culture and life.

The engineer in me is a analytical capitalist with a minor in communism. The yogi in me is a free spirit, loving soul. It's a full time job trying to balance the two.

PHILOSOPHY

Balance.
