My Life Story...
"Love is the sum of all life."
I have one of those "ultimate immigrant stories." I was born in Hong Kong and came to Seattle at age 5. My parents were hard working blue-collar folks that sacrificed a whole lot just so we could get a better education and life. When we arrived in Seattle, we lived in Chinatown then Beacon Hill.
I was the first "Sum" to get a U.S. college degree. And now I'm living the "American dream" with amazing kids, wonderful wife, great family, awesome friends and pretty cool career path.
My ultimate goal in life is to be faithful to my wife and 4 lovely kids daily and my calling to serve & connect with all types of people.
I have a Christian faith and believe life is about God and honoring Him through loving others.
My hobbies are hanging with my fav people-my family, staying fit (volleyball, cycling, running, basketball, etc.), travel (been to Paris & Rome recently), reading great books, going to see movies and music concerts.
