I am a consciousness-raising reporter residing in Washington, D.C. Born and raised in Fresno, CA, I have written several books including: Places: An Essay Collection; Gwok Choy: A Family Memoir; and Chasm. Over the past ten years I completed my masters degree and contributed to APAforProgress.org, Blu-geese.org, Udc-Egsa, IndyBay.org, Examiner.com, GlobalResearch.ca, and OpEdNews.com. Because alt-news media tend to overlook APIA progressives, in 2015 I founded AsianGreenNews.com. We value public service, community values, and protecting environmental resources.
