I was born and raised in Argentina and my parents are Koreans. I am married to Viviana, who was born in Brazil, grew up in Argentina, and her parents are also Koreans. We have 2 children, Emma and Liam, who were born in Illinois! (We are a multi-nationality family!)

We came to NC last year in August after I served at our home church in Argentina as an associate pastor for 4 years.

We consider ourselves "soft-foodies" since we don't just eat food out of necessity, hunger, or a need to survive, but also due to our invested interest. Food is our hobby and we love to cook and invite people over.

In my free time, I love to play with my kids, watch FÚTBOL (Messi fan here), and enjoy a good "Mate" (an Argentinian popular drink) with friends!
