 I have an unusual background and history. My father was in the Air Force, and I was born in Korea. My mother is Korean and my father is American, so every three years of my life I ended up moving to a new place and having to learn new things and meet new people. When you have that background, the life of an entrepreneur is not much different. I have an unusual background and history. My father was in the Air Force, and I was born in Korea.

-I sold my last company to PerkinElmer and thought that would kind of be it. It was a tremendous opportunity to drive large scale innovation with a storied American research firm. At that time, I was working at PerkinElmer and was heading up their R&D group, and then my father got diagnosed with lung cancer. Because I was in a military family, I grew up in a different socioeconomic class than I am now. Today, I live in Boston, run a biotech company, and live downtown. I have a different lifestyle than my family when I was growing up, who now live in eastern North Carolina. When I went down to spent time with my dad at the hospital, I felt like I had walked into 1940 or 1950.
