Where are you from?
I was born in Hong Kong but have been a Brooklynite since I was 1 year old.
What college/university did you graduate from?
I went to New York University and graduated with a B.A. in Computer Science, which is computer programming.
What are your hobbies?
I have been collecting action figures on and off. It started one day during my college years, I went to a Toys “R” Us just to look around, saw action figures of Spider-Man on the pegs, thought “oh cool, they make figures of comic book characters I used to read/watch on TV,” bought one and have been hooked since then.
What’s your favorite sports team?
I am a Dallas Cowboys fan. I have been since the Danny White years starting around 1980.
Your favorite bands?
My ultimate favs are Queen, Hall & Oates and The Beatles
Something interesting you might not know about me…
During my junior high school years, I was delivering the Daily News newspapers in my neighborhood to make some money. To make a long story short, during one of my evening rounds to collect dues, a fairly large dog peed on my left leg. Not a fan.
What’s your favorite movie?
My absolute all-time favorite movie is “When Harry Met Sally…”. It’s funny and sad and romantic. I try to watch it every year on New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day.
