DESCRIBE YOUR CAREER PATH
My career path started while I was at Salisbury University. I obtained an internship at Chick-fil-A and learned a lot of interpersonal skills and effective communication as well. Once I graduated SU in May 2017, I held a position as an insurance agent with Bankers Life. That was extremely short-term due to the slow start-up of my insurance clientele. I ultimately found a job at Royal Farms as a store leader. I led various stores, opened new stores and took over older stores over the course of four years. I learned many things with Royal Farms during my time as store leader, including organization, delegation, problem solving and decision making – just to name a few. I served as a mentor to most of my associates and watched them climb up the company ladder. I too am climbing up the ladder at Royal Farms and currently hold a remote position within the Human Resources Department as standard operating procedure and content developer manager.
MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU LEARNED WHILE ATTENDING SALISBURY UNIVERSITY
The most important thing I feel I learned at Salisbury University was probably Maslow’s theory of motivation. The idea that one’s actions are motivated in a set order to achieve various needs was great to learn about and take with me.
WHAT CAMPUS ACTIVITIES/ORGANIZATIONS WERE YOU INVOLVED WITH?
NA
BEST COLLEGE MEMORY
My best memories at Salisbury University were walking my now wife to her classes or meeting up with her after classes. She too attended Salisbury University before she transferred out to UMBC and then ultimately transferred back to SU and graduated in 2021!
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE SALISBURY UNIVERSITY?
Salisbury has always been local to me. I went to high school in Berlin, MD, at Stephen Decatur and I wanted to be close to friends and family. And, Salisbury has one of the best business schools in the country!
IF YOU COULD DESCRIBE SALISBURY UNIVERSITY IN THREE WORDS, WHAT WOULD THEY BE AND WHY?
Diverse, Innovative and Rewarding.
FAVORITE VACATION SPOT AND WHY?
Although I have not gone on any lavish vacations just yet, I love when I went to Orlando, FL, to all the amusement parks. I would go every year with my mom when I was growing up and it was always a blast! When I lived in Florida, my mom and I would travel to Ocean City, MD, to visit my grandparents. I loved the area as well! The beach, boardwalk and activities made it the best place to be. Years later, we moved here to be closer to family.
GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT
My biggest accomplishment is my family. My wife and I raise two beautiful half-Korean and half-American babies, ages 3 and 4, who are both bilingual in English and Korean. Some other accomplishments I have are winning track and field races in high school and receiving a Certificate of Recognition by the school county’s superintendent. I also am learning the Korean language. While I am not fully there yet, I still learn daily and strive to be fully fluent in the coming years.
WHAT IS SOMETHING PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU?
Something people don’t know about me is that I’m currently starting a small business on the side of my full-time job. Just this year alone, I have started my own LLC and sell on Amazon. Currently, it’s just a way for some passive income, but I hope for it to surpass my expectations by the end of the year. I’m also big on cryptocurrencies and trading too.
HOBBIES/OTHER INTERESTS
I love playing bass, acoustic guitar, skateboarding, longboarding and of course spending time with my two beautiful daughters and lovely wife.
