I started life in the Big Apple. Manhattan, and the Bronx to be specific. At 18 I began a 20 year Navy career which included stops in Naval Intelligence, shipboard Engineering & Air Departments, Navy Recruiting, Armed Forces Radio & Television Service, and Morale Welfare & Recreation. After moving to the private sector I worked as a Programmer/Analyst, an IT Director, managed a field office for a multi-national corporation and founded phunghi, inc., a Business & Information Technology consultancy. Currently I provide my clients creative solutions to complex money problems.

My wife and three children and I now reside in the Puget Sound area of Western Washington, where after husband and father, some of my duties include community theatre, playing Bass Guitar, singing in bands, and working with the Masonic Fraternity to support Pre-Kindergarten through Undergraduate education & Veterans programs.

My Masonic journey started in 2011, with William H. Upton Naval & Military Lodge Number 206 in Bremerton, WA. I joined the Valley of Bremerton in 2015. The tenants of Masonry affords me the opportunity to have a positive impact in the lives of everyone I meet.
