I have always had a passion for designing tee shirts ever since I was a child. In my adolescent through my young adult hood, my time was taken up with the family restaurant business (Chinese). As the majority of my fellow ABCs- American born Chinese would know, most of our family's started a restaurant business to fulfill the "American" dream for the next generation. In my regards, career choices were narrowed, dreams were laughed at, and I was left choosing the most generic major of all business school at Purdue. My dream was to become a designer but was told I would never make it and demand for it was nill. Soon after undergrad I landed a job at a broker dealer answering phone calls from needy incompetent brokers who lied to their clients making them appear they knew what the market was trending. All the while they sat back in their chairs plugging risk reward numbers into a program matrix for their clients. During this time I started cycling and getting more aquatinted with outdoor activities. Turns out I feel in love with cycling and with being outside. A year later I decided to change my career to athletic training mainly to work with cyclist . I started taking prerequisites to fulfill my short term goal(s). During this time I still caught myself wanting to make shirts. I bought a home screen printing kit and found out how expensive it could be. I bought adobe suite to learn about designing graphics for the shirts but I was unable to get it off the ground. Mainly due to the time, money, and family constraint of what am I going to do with my life. Couple semesters later I got into grad school at Weber State for athletic training. For once in my life I felt accomplished. I made it into grad school? I made it out west and I live right by the mountains. Again couple semesters into the program, I caught myself wanting to make shirts. This time was different, I had freedom to achieve my dream. Here I am starting Leisure Time Apparel Co while attending grad school.
