I am a loan officer bringing many smiles to Southern Florida area. When not at work, I love taking care of my beautiful baby girl, Lei-Lei, and playing with my two happy puppies, Josie and Giuseppe. During the pandemic, I developed a passion for cycling. My biggest achievement to date is cycling around the scenic Lake Tahoe in California/Nevada, a 72-mile distance. The course has lots of ascents and descents totaling 4,024 vertical feet of elevation. On a less busy day, you’ll find me and my family relaxing at the beach.
