Bio
As a multiple minority and Viet Nam Veteran, I grew up very poor, mostly because my parents were illiterate immigrants. While they wanted the best for me and my siblings, they had no way to provide them.
So, I had to start working when I was 13 years old. After high school, working as some the dirtiest jobs, I worked hard during the day and attended college, full-time, at night. Or, I worked at night and went school, full-time, during the day. Therefore, I had to sacrafice much in the way of social and fun activities because I knew education would be my only way out of poverty.
I earned and graduated, dual majors, with a Bachelor Degree in Business Administration and one in teaching; and, earned an MBA and a teaching credential; plus other education, certificates, and honors too numerous to mention and that no one will care about.
My experience includes working in non-management, consulting, and management levels. Moreover, while working during the day, I taught college business and computer courses in the evening.
However, today, I am finally retired after working in industry for over 40 years and teaching college courses for 45 years.
