Bio  
 

I was born  in the year of the Monkey in Seoul, S. Korea when Vietnam War was ending.
I grew up in Busan with education in music, literature, and art. I attended Sujong Yuchiwon and local public school in Busanjin in S. Korea. 

                       
 
       I moved to the U.S. and grew up in San Jose as it transformed from a cowtown to Silicon Valley.


 

I went to NY to study and lived in NYC while working at museums,
film festivals and Time Warner.

 

 

 

 

                     

Aside from usual business and continued education, I'm a graphic designer, photographer, and writer.   I finished several stories, drafting a YA book, and currently working on a historical screenplay.
