| Since college I have gone through a few different career paths. I went to graduate school for teacher education and sports and fitness management. I was unable to complete either program due to either illness or difficulty. I feel as though I failed in my attempts at those careers.
But I did pick up some new skills in graduate school and learned a new
perspective that led me to my current position of looking for
entrepreneurial opportunities. So I did some soul searching and pursue opportunities as an actor, because I love expression and
believe there is a need for asian male actors. It led to some extra work in Charlie's Angels 2 and a few auditions for tv and commercials. I still take classes for acting and want to keep going on auditions. So in the meantime I am building a business that will allow me some financial and time freedom with a
home business. I currently work for Survival Insurance during the day to pay
bills.
I play indoor soccer on two teams at the Upland Arena and Big League Dreams sports parks. I have already been through 3 seasons of indoor soccer. Soccer is my new favorite sport. I love world cup soccer men and women's for USA. I play on co-ed teams so I know how tough our women can be. I love to write poems, songs and stories. I would like to produce them in a media format one day so that I can share them with friends and family. One of my poems, "soccer" was published in a book through www.poetry.com. |

| I pray that I am on the right path and that God will take me where he needs me. I would love to have the financial power to take care of a family and donate time and money to charities I feel strongly about. I am still single, and hope that my journey brings me to a relationship that will lead to marriage and a family. My grandfather got married when he was 35 and had a long marriage and many grandchildren so I don't feel like that is beyond my reach yet... | ||

| I am still very much a work in progress, and I feel good about that...
