I'm one of the fortunate few that loves his profession. I love playing sports and being outdoors. When I'm indoors, I'm usually watching tv or movies. I couldn't ask for better friends and I'm fortunate to have a great family.

Briefly, the story of my life: Born in Taiwan, raised in the Bay Area, went down south for college. Graduated with BS and MS from UCLA. Worked at Raytheon Company as a Digital Design Engineer for a year down in El Segundo. Went back to the Bay Area to work for the chip design company, Marvell Semiconductor for about 15 months. For those more technically involved, I worked on read channel physical layer chips. Currently I am back down in San Diego working at Qualcomm in the Wireless Modem / Baseband processing group.

I'd like to get a chance to sit down with John Wooden, Lance Armstrong, and Denzel Washington. People that I admire. And YOU of course :)
