Born and raised in Hong Kong, Brian has always had a deep connection to this place he calls home. Brian's values are a result of a strong family upbringing based firmly on the understanding that "if you can help, you should help". This mantra is one that he embodies wholeheartedly and motivates his decisions for charity work, the principles he conducts his businesses, and the generosity he extends to his family and friends. More Good is a "space" where he can extend his ability to help and impact those around him in a positive way.
