Born and raised in north Philly, graduated GW high school in 1995, Cabrini College in 2000, and worked for Lockheed Martin for 15yrs as a software engineer. Started attending GCC in 1997, and met my beautiful and smart wife Hui Jeong in pastor Joe Lee’s small group. We now have two beautiful daughters, and we are currently serving and attending at the main Line site. I had the awesome opportunity to go on short term missions for the first time in 2018 to Indonesia, there God really opened my heart and eyes for the lost while also showing me how much of a bubble we live in the US. I love spending time with family and friends, and I still enjoy roller coasters, water parks, and eating (especially spicy foods).
