I wanted to share with you all something that I never thought would be possible at my age. Being the first person in my family to own property, I wanted to share with you that the American dream is possible through hard work and committing to improving yourself every day.

My mom came here as a refugee from Vietnam escaping the war in hopes of a better life.

My parents did not have any former education, and my dad used to be a street vendor in NYC and Philly selling gloves, watches, and other things out in the cold. I’m so proud of where we have been and growing up living off of government assistance I know the value of hard work, and I’m thankful for the ability to be able to give back to the community.

As I have gotten older, I realize that I had such a scarcity context around owning a home, especially in the Northeast it’s certainly not cheap over here in the NYC metro area. I want to share and give gratitude to so many who have helped me reach so many goals and be able to purchase a home of my own.

I’m overwhelmed with gratitude. Right off the bat, I would like to thank @Garrett Rafols @Kartapurkh @Kyle Poll @mike Ragone @Jeffrey Meleskey @Jeff Anderson @Adam Klein and everyone else who help make this possible.

Thank you to all of the clients, partners, Relationship managers, Customer Success Managers, Sales Development Reps, @Shantel Buford, @Bonnie @Ivana @Ryan @Kyndall @Lauren Bickford, @Nolan Harrington @Leslie Gudino, and everyone else that I may have forgotten to mention.
