He was the class vice president, the National Student Liaison (for the AOSA and the Optometric Extension Program), and also the Optometric Extension Program National Student Coordinator.
After he graduated in May 2012, he joined SCCOS and continued to dedicate his time and energy in making his profession stronger and better. He was the chairman of InfantSEE and the current Co-Chairman for the Young O.D.’s group. In 2013, he was selected as the Trustee of Public Affairs overseeing MCT School Vision Screenings, InfantSEE, Society Project, Access Program and Save Your Vision Month. Under his leadership, various service projects that reached out to the underserved community were completed, which improved people’s quality of life and vision. He is in private practice with his father in Campbell with an emphasis of Neuro- and Developmental Optometry. He also has a second degree black belt in Japanese karate and is an avid Salsa and Latin Ballroom dancer.
