A Chinese Malaysian who was born in Singapore and educated in the US, Paul grew up without any sense of direction or purpose. At the age of 20, he was kicked out of his university in the US for failing too many semesters. Forced to return to Singapore, he lived aimlessly for many more months until his high school best friend invited him to a youth event. It was there he had a life changing encounter and made a decision to take responsibility for his life and to live in the service of others.

He returned to the US and graduated from Trine University, Indiana USA as a Mechanical Engineer. Because of his passion for developing people, he decided not to pursue an engineering career and returned to Singapore. He worked as sales team leader at a local investment software company and later a sales executive and manager at Citibank Malaysia. He was recently the Sales & Service Training Manager at HSBC Vietnam and is now building Radical Coaching, a learning & development company that works closely with schools, businesses and NGOs that desire to be champions and positive difference makers in their fields.

Paul and his Vietnamese wife, Hai Ha, whom he met in Singapore are living happily in Ho Chi Minh City and plan to be in Vietnam for many years to come.
