about me

I was born in South Korea but grew up in New York, where I spent most of my life before moving to Austin, Texas. My wife, Clara, and I have a Maltese named Winter, who is our pride and joy. Outside of dentistry, I love spending time with family and friends, traveling, and exploring new restaurants.
