ABOUT OUR GUEST:
"I was born to immigrant Korean parents in Houston, Texas in 1967. In those days, Houston was much less diverse than it is today. Luckily my mother was able to access an organization called S.M.I.L.E., which was an outreach program from South Main Baptist Church (the S.M. were for the name of the church). A kind white woman, Magdalene Olsen, took my mother under her wing and taught her how to make classic American dishes like casseroles that utilized Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom soup. Over the years, my family grew more affluent, especially after a move to West Des Moines, Iowa, when my father went into private practice as a doctor.
Growing up in two homogeneously white areas, Texas and Iowa, my parents emphasized assimilation and I was a model student. I eventually matriculated to Harvard University and met my future wife my freshman year. Like me, she was the child of Korean immigrants and born in the US. Even more remarkable was that she grew up in Brookings, South Dakota.
After college, I came to New York for graduate school but never left. I have now raised twin daughters in NYC who now are 21 years old and are both attending Harvard University. My wife is a Managing Director in the legal department at Morgan Stanley, and I am an increasingly entrepreneurial biotech executive who has served in the C-suite of publicly listed companies."
