Milestones
My road in life has taken me all over.
I immigrated to the United States when I was 8 years old.
At 27, I got married. We've been married for 16 years now, and have 3 children.
I started my first company after getting my MBA. It was an environmental consulting firm.
I launched a mobile app start-up in 2011. I self-funded it.
I had to shut down my mobile app start-up in 2016. Learned not to personalize failure.
Have a new career plan. Still an entrepreneur at heart. Just enjoy solving complex problems.
