How I want entrepreneurs to perceive the .406 team
Partners who can (and want to) be called upon for anything—a sounding board, an introduction, a cold beer.
Least favorite job
Being my own handyman. It’s an endless job of breaking the things I’m trying to fix.
Most fun I have ever had
I spent four days motorbiking through Vietnam’s northernmost province, Ha Giang, which is the most beautiful mountainous landscape I’ve ever seen.
Fond childhood memory
Riding the chairlift for the first time with my brother. Little did I know that we were about to ski the “easy” black diamond trail down.
Favorite destination
As a first-generation American, I have strong ties to Taiwan—my home away from home. I spent many summers there visiting family, eating lots of seafood, and exploring the island. Happy to give recommendations!
Still on your bucket list
Dive the Red Sea to see shipwrecks, hammerhead sharks, and reefs.
First thing you do when you get up
Meditate. There’s no better way to start the day!
Hidden talent
Butchering every song’s lyrics (probably why I like electronic).
