About Mr. Rick Chen
I am an entrepreneur. I am a veteran of the United States Army. He
graduated from University of California, Berkeley with a Bachelor
degree in Philosophy. He lives in suburb of Los Angeles with his family.
From
a weak teenager to an infantry solider. From a C student to a Berkeley
Graduate; from a fired sales person to personally responsible for over
$100 million portfolio.; from a selfish little brat to a compassionate
human being, I transformed into the possibility of love and
responsibility.
In 1992, I left China with my mom to the
United States. I did not speak a word of English when he first got
here. After graduating from high school with a 2.0 GPA I enlisted
myself in the United States Army. In the Army I found out it is the
best place to practice conversational English and I spoke English
fluently 6 months into it.
Since the age of 16 while still in
high school, I started working as a busboy in a Cantonese restaurant.
All along I had a series of jobs, actor, store clerk, delivery guy,
legal assistant, quality control, computer part salesperson, cell phone
salesperson, real estate agent. During most of this period I was still
in school. Although I was able to speak English fluently now, however
my English writing skill is still very substandard. After failing the
college English class 4 times and passing I was finally accepted by 4
top ranked universities. Finally I graduated from the #1 ranked public
university, University of California, Berkeley.
Thereafter, I
was with General Electric. During my time with GE’s Commercial Distribution Finance Division, ranked #1 in Fortune 500’s Diversified
Financial Sector, I served as territory representative for Orange
County and was personally responsible for client portfolio in excess of
over $100 million.
