Although retired from teaching at UNLV, I remain active with several projects and boards in which I have mostly continued from my involvements while still working. Most of my family are in California, but they like visiting Las Vegas - so I see them regularly without having to leave town. Amazingly, I still keep in touch with many former students - especially those who were players for Rebel Hockey which just won their league's National Championship. While still working at...

Most of my family are in California, but they like visiting Las Vegas - so I see them regularly without having to leave town. Amazingly, I still keep in touch with many former students - especially those who were players for Rebel Hockey which just won their league's National Championship. While still working at UNLV, I served as Faculty Adviser of Rebel Hockey as well as FASA, the Filipino American Student Association.
I was recently asked to help start a Las Vegas Chapter of FANHS, the Filipino American National Historical Society - especially now that Clark County has officially approved a Filipino Town area in Las Vegas. I am also an Advisory Board Member of a tech AI startup company in Las Vegas connected with the new NIL landscape of college sports.

I moved to Las Vegas from California. Looking to make some friends with the local Las Vegas Asian community.
I speak Cantonese Chinese and a little bit of Mandarin.
In my spare time I enjoy hanging out with friends and trying the different ethnic foods Vegas has to offer.

Experience with all cycles of company growth, whether from ‘0 to 1’, '1 to 10' or '10+', managing spend ranging from $250K to $30M/mo for nearly two dozen apps/businesses spanning gaming, fintech, crypto, real estate, e-commerce, and gen-AI. I've managed nearly $300M in paid media across all prominent paid social, social, search, mobile, display and connected TV, building a consistent track record of scaling paid media while exceeding ROAS or CAC targets.
I enjoy building out growth infrastructure including MMP integrations, attribution, reporting, GTM plans and creative. I’ve worked across nearly every stage of growth (0 → 1, 1 → 10, and 10 → 100), often stepping in as a hands-on 'player/coach' for lean teams, serving as an internal consultant within larger orgs, or lead on cross-functional projects spanning partnerships, product marketing, growth product, ad-tech, creative and analytics.
Outside of growth, I'm passionate about fitness and volunteering. I'm a competitive powerlifter, caregiver, and board member of LFE Foundation, a nonprofit endowment fund empowering the AAPI community via scholarships and education grants. -
