Story

U.S. Citizen, but made in Korea. I earned my master's degree in engineering and started my career as a project engineer in Seoul back in 2008. In 2011, my wife and I relocated to the U.S. with our two young daughters, and I pursued another master's degree in engineering at the University of Texas at Austin (Hook 'em!).

​

In 2013, I started a real estate investment portfolio and a consulting business using my two credit cards in Houston, Texas, while working a full-time job as an engineer. Despite the daunting obstacles of tough immigration, a sudden layoff, and an unjust lawsuit, I refused to be defeated. Instead, I saw these setbacks as opportunities for growth and learning, strengthened by my unwavering faith in Jesus. 

​

I’m not intimidated by what I don’t know. If anything, it makes me all the more curious. I learn and find out why. I’m passionate about creating ways where there seems to be no way. I’m passionate about helping others do the same.

​

Practicing taxes is another pathway to promise. It’s another bushwhacking exposition that will create new stories.

​

Looking forward to saving your taxes.
