Born in Hong Kong to an American mutt dad and a Chinese mother in a French hospital in an English colony surround by Chinese people....

Join the Army at 18 because my ex Drill Sargent father proclaimed that he was not going to spend his hard earned cash on "booze and broads" at the University of Rhode Island when I brought home more C's than B's senior year.

Went to the Gulf with Juan and 550,499 other people with 3rd Armored Div, 5/5 CAV, 23 ENGR, 2 platton, 3rd sqd. Left a specialist....

Came home in 93 and hit the community college cuz everyone else was doing it. Also could not decide whether or not to work at my fathers retail leather garmet business or do something on my own. Met the wife at the gym in 94...love at first sight....except now ten years later we drive each other NUTS....she is still gorgous and it saves her ass every time.

Switched schools in 97 to Johnson & Wales University in Providence RI...Most famous for Emerle Lagase and it's culinary program, but has a nifty little business school that I did well at and enjoyed...so much so that I stayed for the MBA in Marketing. I have been in Finance for 8 years and am currently gainfully employeed as a Portfolio Manager for the Bank of America...trying to get this MOD stuff done as I am beginning the trek to become a Chartered Financial Analyst this winter....

I am blessed...and I thank my lucky stars every day my mother liked the tall dark handsome guy that saw her cross the street in the middle of Hong Kong and told her she "looked terrible in that dress".........my Dad is sarcastic.
