About Me

I grow up by a river in Nam O and I love swimming and billard.
I go to school in La Mirada and I love skateboarding.
I go to university in Riverside and study pure mathematics.
I teach math and practice Shaolin gongfu and Wudang taiji.
I love trees and gardens.

I live by the following philosophy:

In dwelling be close to the ground.
In dealing with others be gentle and kind;
Just as I use my self.

For the health of the body keep it moving.
In taking care of the mind keep it at peace;
Exercise and peace of mind are the key to a happy and fulfilling life.
