Bob is often colloquially referred to as the “Godfather of the Asian community” in the Northeast, as a deeply-tied connector and enabler of both established and up-and-coming Asian Americans. He is co-founder and the former President of Taiwanese American Professionals - New York (TAP-NY) and also the former President of Taiwanese American Citizens League (TACL).
In his free time he teaches financial literacy to high school students through Junior Achievement (JA). He has also written for Fortune Magazine and NextShark.
