I am deeply humbled to share a glimpse of my journey with you. Born and raised in Fresno, California, I am a proud first-generation Hmong American. My roots trace back to the brave souls who emerged from the trials of the secret war in Laos, and it is their courage that continues to inspire me every day. Their sacrifices paved the way for my chance at freedom in America, a gift for which I am fore
ver grateful. From a young age, I aspired to follow in the footsteps of my grandparents, who served in the military, driven by a deep-seated desire to protect those who couldn't defend themselves. I envisioned a path that would grant others the same opportunities I've been blessed with. In 2011, just three days after graduating high school, I raised my right hand and solemnly swore to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all adversaries, foreign and domestic. That pivotal moment marked the beginning of a six-year journey in the United States Marine Corps, during which I left my hometown and state for the first time. Upon my return to Fresno, I transitioned to the California Army National Guard, where I've dedicated a total of thirteen years in service. Currently, I am honored to serve as a Federal employee, specializing as a helicopter mechanic for the Department of the Army. In addition to my military service, I embarked on a new chapter in the financial service industry. This decision was driven by a personal quest for financial literacy, recognizing my own need to understand the intricate world of money. As I delved deeper, the significance of life insurance in financial planning and portfolio management became abundantly clear. This newfound knowledge ignited a passion within me, aligning seamlessly with my life's purpose — to serve and empower others. Now, I stand devoted to educating and empowering those around me about the vital role of life insurance, as well as the broader financial landscape. It is a calling that resonates deeply with me, as it embodies the essence of what I've committed my life to: serving people. Thank you for joining me on this extraordinary journey. Together, let us continue to inspire and uplift one another in pursuit of our shared goals and aspirations.
