A businessman, a father, but a hard worker before all else.
A childhood filled with dreams and aspirations that grew as tall as the stalks of wild rice in the field surrounding him.
A severe case of wanderlust that not even his humble origins and lack of education could stop.
Gaining instead a PhD in survival, it was good enough for him, and in turn, his dreams finally took flight.

The first thing he saw when he began his new life as Sam was vermillion. To this day, he tells me it is one of the most beautiful sights he has ever seen (next to the births of his children). But new sights did not quell the want for something more, so off he went again, leaving his past loves behind. 

An island hopper (only in theory) at heart, he created a new identity in each little land of volcanic origin he ever resided in until he finally settled in one of them.

A man of many beginnings, many lives, and many identities; never just Chinese. He prefers more accurately to be known simply as Sam.
