Fifty-something pediatrician and father who spent years studying hard to become a doctor, then a mapper, then a commercial airline pilot.
I was born in Taiwan, and immigrated to the U.S. in 1985. I am happily married since July of 2005, and my son was born in 2007.
I am the president of the Rotary Club in my city. I am also a landlord.
I am a YouTuber: www.youtube.com/ADHDDoc
I am the author of two books--both titles on children's health.
