Love Story
We met in college on the Student Today Leader Forever Pay It Forward Volunteering trip. One of the best trips I have been involved with
Went on our first date by going on skydiving (Video)
We went on various trips around the country and internationally such as road-tripping to North Carolina and spending the winter holiday in Puerto Rico.
This past summer, Lexi and I traveled back to Wuhan, China where I am originally from.
I made a secret proposal where she got to see her own proposal! And she said YES! (Video coming soon)

Adventures
Life’s too short to play it safe. I’m all about diving headfirst into new adventures, pushing boundaries, and soaking up every experience life has to offer. Learning never stops, and neither do I.
Whether it’s hiking, tennis, rollerblading, scuba-diving, swimming, running, or Muay Thai, I’m always on the move, chasing the next adventure.
