TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF

“I am a board-certified orthopedic surgeon and Sports Medicine specialist. I’m married to Katie and the father of 3: Ava age 9, who is a budding dancer, Aiden, age 7, a lacrosse player, and Olivia, age 6, a comedian/singer-actress wannabe. We also have a dog, Maximus. I was born in New York City, in the Bronx, and am the only child of parents who came to America from Hong Kong.”

HOW DID YOU FIRST DISCOVER ROBERT GRAHAM

“Through my neighbor and softball teammate. I told him I was looking for a stylish alternative to wearing ties every day to the office and he introduced me to Robert Graham. Robert Graham has given me that and so much more. If I am not in my scrubs, I am in Robert Graham.”

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ROBERT GRAHAM ITEM

“This is not really a fair question, but I guess I would have to say my navy LIMA sneakers.”

WHAT ARE YOUR PASSIONS IN LIFE

“I am lucky to have a dynamic career which constantly challenges me to improve my thought process and my skill set. Outside of work, I love playing ice hockey, golf, and tennis. I love driving my 911 with the topdown, it’s my motorcycle substitute. And of course my family, especially my 3 kids and watching them grow and seeing that they are already becoming relevant in their lives.”

WHAT INSPIRES YOU

“People who sweat the details, hold themselves accountable, and handle their business. Those who just get it. Gracious winners, like they’ve been there before. The hand shake line after an NHL championship game 7, laying everything on the line and having no regrets. The perfect pass. The selfless act. As the legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden once said, “A true test of a man’s character is what he does when no one is watching.” Answering the question: ‘Did I make a difference today?’ My 3 kids inspire me every day. The coolness and poise that comes from their mother.”
