About Me

I am about having a lot of fun and work hard. My passion comes from turning an idea that I care very much about into reality. the most important thing for me is my family.After college I was a real estate agent for a few years and have worked briefly for General Electric. I have a B.A. in philosophy from University of California, Berkeley. Before I finally graduated from college, I have had many odd jobs, busboy, delivery guy, legal assistant, salesperson, account executive, you name it. I have also served in the US army as an infantry.I was born in China, and immigrated to a suburb neighborhood in southern California more than a decade ago.Rules: All friends requests will be grantedThis layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? using original artwork by Marah Johnson.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet: you. Note to Hijackers: If you plan to hijack my myspace please don't do it. I am here to do good. Watch the movies, read the books I have mentioned below, and my blogs too. Hopefully after that you will love the world and everybody in it. Plus, if you leave my profile here, there will be more good guys and less competition for you. If you decide to turn good. it will be even better, so don't be evil.
