I was born in Hong Kong but grew up in Seattle and Bellevue. I was raised in a Christian household and my family attended the Evangelical Chinese Church (ECC) in Seattle. It was at ECC that I came to know the Lord and was baptized in December 1979.

My faith walk – like any believer – has been a journey of experiencing God’s awesome grace and His sanctifying work. I left Seattle in 1983 and in the next 38 years lived in Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago and the New York/New Jersey area. I studied computer science and business at MIT and did graduate studies in Economics at the University of Chicago. I had a 25-year career in NYC as a portfolio manager at OppenheimerFunds. Over the same 38 years, my faith walk came with calls to serve our Lord. It ranged from youth, college, and children’s Sunday school ministries, to being on worship teams, to roles as small group leader, adult Sunday school teacher, deacon, church plant leader, and elder. Since returning to Seattle in 2021, I have been active in local missions, serving as an ESL teacher and board member for the Seattle Gospel Center, a community ministry that outreaches to Chinese immigrants primarily in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District. I have been married to Mary for 33 years. God has blessed us with two lovely grown children, Jonathan and Madeline. Jonathan and his wife, Esther, live in the Bay Area while Madeline resides in Cambridge, MA. We are thankful that the Lord has worked greatly in each of them as they are baptized believers and each is active at their local churches.

Mary and I started attending Lighthouse full-time in January 2022. We had visited a handful of churches in 2021 but we chose Lighthouse because of its ministry focus on Asian Americans. We have been blessed by being part of a very dynamic small group, in which I serve as one of the discussion leaders, and by engagements in other ministries. Even though I have returned “home”, my expectations of what God has for me remains unchanged. He is still full of grace and He continues to mold me to be His image bearer. It won’t end until the day He brings me to the FOREVER home where I will be made perfect.
