Personal Background: Phillip came to the United States in March 1983 as a young teen sponsored by Bethany Christian Services and Word Visions’ Saving Children Program from the Vietnamese Refugee in Hong Kong. If there is anything to say about his characters, it would be his hard work and his determination to succeed in the U.S.; and he did. He completed high school, college and grad school despite the fact that he never completed his second grade education (before arriving in the U.S.) because both of his parents died during the Vietnam War before he was 4 years old. He is the author of more than 25 computer training programs and several volumes of poetry and often served as a keynote speaker for many events. The struggles and the barriers that Phillip overcame... a few of us can only image. He is a shining example of what one can achieve with hard work and determination. Most of all, Phillip is a dedicated follower of Jesus Christ, a loving husband and father of three beautiful kids.
