Young Entrepreneur
Peter wanted more than just head knowledge from a Business degree at the University of Florida. At age 20, he started his first company, WhizNotes, to get practical business experience. WhizNotes was a tutoring service that lead mass exam reviews for mathematics and science courses at the University of Florida. One year later, he started his second venture, Shox Printing., a graphic design and full-service printing firm. With a team of 17 employees and interns, Shox Printing soon expanded it?s enterprise to a web development firm (Shox Web) and an award-winning marketing and promotions firm (Shox, Inc.), working with hundreds of local to Fortune 500 clients. Shox was able to see it?s first million in sales in just a couple of years and was named by Advertising Specialties Institute Top Minority Business and Top 30 under 30 Business Owners.

Calling for More
At age 17, Peter spent the next 4.5 years as a youth director for a Vietnamese church in St. Petersburg. During the ups and downs in his life, he soon realized that the only constant in his life was the joy in leading the next generation. After meeting hundreds of Asian American youths across the nation, Peter realized the need for relevancy for the next generation in the immigrant Asian church in America.

Soon after, two important people in his life passed away within weeks. His brokenness paved a way to find his deeper purpose and passion. God made it clear on what he was called to do - to lead a movement in starting relevant next generation Asian American English-speaking churches.
