I’m from beautiful Manhattan Beach, CA, where my Asian parents forced me to play the violin every day.

I’m the founder of Five9 and DoctorBase, co-founder of 6connect, and an advisor to Halloo.
I try to stay a busy boy.

Every day in startups seems like a challenging puzzle, but I couldn’t imagine doing anything else. I find humor helps the process, so please don’t be offended if I offend you.

Taco Trucks – consistently effective commercial tweets

Taco trucks skirting the law (and local zoning codes) offering delicious Mexican and Mexican/Korean fusion (yes!) foods consistently show effective use of tweets for direct sales. Not many other verticals can say that about twitter usage.

the-Rich-Jerk Rips People Off… what a jerk!

The new Tom VU of the Internet is “the Rich Jerk.” His best quote is “I’m a jerk, but I don’t care because I’m rich.” I wonder what the bigger conversion trick is – the blonde hanging on his arm or the idea that he says anyone can “make several millions dollars every year on the internet, doing almost nothing.”

That’s right, keep eating those chips while watching day-time TV – your lotto ticket is just one click away!

DoctorBase now in Google Local’s reviews

I may have missed someone, but this makes us the only non-VC funded company (read: Organic) that has been selected to have their healthcare provider reviews be indexed as part of Google’s local reviews. It’s a huge honor and I’m biased of course – but our reviews are verified, accurate, and come backed by an ethical reviews policy – no doorway pages, no “astro-turfed” reviews, no b.s. And we’re glad both the public and Goog appreciate it. We promise to keep the good karma going strong.
