Summary: California attorney with prior experience in software development (CMS,

now a HP company), marketing (NCR), real estate and Big 4 consulting (KPMG).

Founder/advocate of ORCCA, a startup trying to mitigate the expected impact of

mass job losses caused by the adoption of Internet, artificial intelligence and robots.

Storyteller of Midwestville. Founder/advocate of O’Moose Forum, an online forum on

Facebook addressing issues we are facing in this brave new world.

Skills/Strengths: deal negotiation, strategic planning, legal knowledge,

financial/accounting knowledge, entrepreneurship, business acquisition, commercial

real estate, business/revenue modeling, problem solving/Innovation, management

consulting, software development, product design/management, project

management, branding, content designing/marketing, digital marketing,

communicative narration, internal control and storytelling.

About Me:

-Futuristic and Innovative: I have come up with quite a few good startup ideas, which

are mostly originated from the approach of foreseeing what might happen in the

future. Of course, all these predictions have to be examined with reality checks and

sound business judgment.

-Quick Learning and Problem Solving:  My career has been in several different fields

but the only thing remains unchanged is that all these positions demand the skill of

learning clients’ business, diagnosing the problem and prescribing (or inventing) a

solution. All these have to be done in a short timeframe regardless whether I have

prior experience in the particular industry of an assigned case.

-Creative and Effective Communication: I can absorb complex ideas and technical

details, and communicate them in the form of a short and concise narrative, story or

comic strip.

-Youthful in Spirit:  My lifestyle has not changed too much from my school years.  I

read a lot, learn new skills, plan to make a difference, try to have a family, eat out,

live in a messy apartment, sleep on a mattress (just don’t see the value of a bed over

a mattress on the floor), although financially I can afford otherwise.

-Curious:  I have insatiable desire of learning new ideas and technologies (everything

actually).

-Tenacious: I am steadfast in reaching objectives but not afraid to change course if

necessary.  I can work under extreme pressure.

-Reliable:  I try my best to keep my promises and have always had impeccable credit.

My credit score is 818 as of October 2016, per Transunion.

Professional Licensure:

-Member of California State Bar since 1998

-California Real Estate Broker license since 2000

Education:

-A variety of meetups and seminars in Silicon Valley and Taiwan in the last few years

(I learn from the masters who are currently working on the hot subjects of the day);

-Self-education through daily update and reading of online industrial/market news

and articles;

-JD from Golden Gate University School of Law, San Francisco, 1998.

Language: English, Mandarin and Taiwanese

Recent Work Product Examples:

Example 1: Product Designing and Positioning

After sensing the massive job loss trend caused by the use of Internet, artificial

intelligence and robots, I designed a business model to mitigate the impact of the

foreseeable global unemployment. I positioned the model to meet the most urgent

part of the target market.

Example 2: Branding/Corporate Identity System

I brand my startup, ORCCA, with an orca mascot, and oMoose with a moose mascot.

I think the startup community can learn something from the sports franchises in term

of branding and marketing.

Example 3: Alternative Business Strategy for Startup

Building consensus first (or marketing first if you will) before building the product.

Almost all startups nowadays in Silicon Valley take the approach of building a MVP

(minimum viable product) first. In May 2015, I took an alternative approach  to the

traditional wisdom of building a MVP, marketing it to see whether there is traction and

pivoting if not.  What if we can tell a compelling story to build consensus (i.e. building

audience and acquiring future customers) among potential clientele and then build

the product according to the responses received in our storytelling stage?   I

therefore wrote a satiric story, Midwestville, that has gone viral on Internet.

Example 4: Trademarks instead of Incorporation

I chose to file a trademark (I.e. ORCCA) application instead of an incorporation

application for my startup to protect my legal rights. Instead of following the traditional

wisdom of setting up a legal entry for my startup, I chose to use trademarks and

copyrights to protect my marketing material and work products. Trademark

application is inexpensive and requires minimal maintenance. Best of all, I can

protect many of my rights by simply relying on the doctrine of First in Use. I therefore

save the expenses and time on incorporation and entity maintenance until the first

investor/employee comes in.

Example 5: Effective Viral Marketing with Zero Budget

I wrote a satiric story, Midwestville, to promote my startup, which has gone viral on

Internet. It proves that a well-planned and executed business plan can be effective

with or without a big budget.  The first few episodes of the story are included below at

Note 1 for your reference.

Example 6: Content Design Techniques

-Hooks: I provided answers to the issues I raised but asked more quizzes at the end

of each episode to keep the readers interested.

-Relevancy: To engage readers, especially readers in tech world (Midwestville is

designed to be a client acquiring tool), I create the storyline inferring to the current

events and personalities in the tech world although the scene is set in the 19th

century.  This relevancy also makes the new episodes of the storyline a great venue

of product placement and organic advertisement for ad buyers.

-Shock Jock (provocative, yet not offensive): I tricked readers thinking that Pearl of

Tranquility in Episode 3 (The Grand Ox) inferring to the taboo subject of using

marijuana. Fifteen days later on June 15, 2015, I announced that the real answer I

meant in Episode 3 was Psychology of Trendsetters.

Note 1:**Midwestvillw**

A marketing tool to promote ORCCA (Online Rights and Creative Content Alliance)

(Episode 1)

Art was a farmer living with his wife and two children on his family farm in

Midwestville in 1800s. He grew corns and sold to several general stores in St. Louis.

He took his harvested corns to St. Louis with his wagons once a month. The trip took

about three days one way if the weather was good. Store owners paid him about 15

dollars, few hams, two bags of flour and some household items. Art had everything

he and his family needed. Life was good.

Then, the transcontinental railroad came to Midwestville. Art was leery about the

railroad with all the disruptions of his neighborhood, digging and building. Ted, Art’s

neighbor, was a learned man whom Art respected. According to Ted, the railroad

company would take his corns to St. Louis for him in just five hours and the train

could return the next day. He said this was the technical advancement of the modern

way. Art should adapt to this new way of doing his business. Art finally decided to let

the railroad company to transport his crops to St. Louis. The next day, he went with

excitement to see the station master of the railroad company in Midwestville for his

money. The railroad company people were nice and friendly but told him that the

company didn’t owe him money since the railroad company didn’t consume his corns

and Art had benefited from the convenient and quick service provided by the new

technology. In all fairness, they did congratulate Art for his open-mindedness though.

Art felt the explanation from the railroad company made sense but where were his

fruits of labor, he wondered…

* Midwestville* (Episode 2 - Do Not Disturb!, a prequel to Episode 1)

In Episode 2, I will tell a story that happened seven years prior to the building of

railroad through Midwestville, which led to Farmer Art's dilemma. But I think most of

our audience want to know Farmer Art's quest of seeking the answer to his problem. I

will soon publish Episode 3 before the release of Episode 2.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Midwestville* (Episode 3 - The Grand Ox)

~Farmer Art's Market~

Puzzled by his encounter with the modern way of doing business through the railroad

company, Art went to talk to his neighbor Ted who received his education back East,

Art thought. Ted was sympathetic and suggested "why don't you start your own

produce store in town?" Art thought it was a great idea. If it worked out, he wouldn't

need to rely on the railroad company's way of doing his business, which confused

him, or to transport his crops to St. Louis himself. He would then have time to fix his

house that he promised his wife to do for the last 10 years. Excited by this prospect

of opening his own business, Art rented a storefront on New Main Street in

Midwestville, hung his hand-painted sign "Farmer Art's Market" and opened for

business. Much to Art's disappointment, there were few people walked into his store

or even took notice of the existence of Art's startup venture.

~Book of Timeshadow from Ashmolean~

Ted opened the door, there he was. His buddy, Farmer Art sought his advice again.

After listened to Art's complaint for lacking of traffic to his store, Ted didn't give Art a

quick and smart answer as he had always done. He turned his face toward the

fireplace and stared at the flame for quite a while, and turned and looked Art in the

eyes, said "mate, can you keep a secret?"

"Yes, yes, sure, sure," Art answered eagerly. "You are asking the utmost question

that has tortured countless brilliant minds throughout the ages." Ted went into his

study and returned with an old and tattered leather bound book with some dark

brown stains on it. Then, Art was told a tall tale about this Book of Timeshadow that

he didn't know how to make of it. Ted said with a serious and almost scary

expression on his face that Art had never seen before. He said this was a book he

took from Ashmolean Museum when He was a freshman in the university. And this

was why he quitted school, came and settled in this place of no where on the Great

Plains. He then told Art that all the knowledge in and beyond this world was kept in a

place where no mortal could reach except for few spiritual beings, and one of such

spiritual mediums lived not so far from Midwestville.

~The Place of Nine Moons~

The next day, Art kissed his wife and children goodbye, jumped on his horse and on

his way went with Ted to find this shaman, The Grand Ox. Guided by the instructions

in the Book of Timeshadow, Art and Ted rode eight days due north and rested seven

nights to find a place where there were nine moons. After eight-day's nonstop ride,

the duo reached a lowland where there were many lakes. It was the spring time,

there were plenty of grasses and plants near the lakes. Art and Ted let loose the

horses and searched for the place of nine moons on foot. In the early evening,

exhausted by their search in vain, they sat on a hilltop starting a campfire. Art

suddenly stood up yelling with beef jerky in his mouth, "Look! Nine moons!" There it

was, the moon's reflection shown in the nine small lakes below the small hill Art and

Ted camped.

~The Grand Ox~

Rushed down the hill, Ted read the calling spell from the book, "Dart-Slash-Eh-Dart-

Out" for the shaman. After Ted repeated several times, Art elbowed Ted asking him to

turn his head. A small tepee was set behind them 30 feet away where an old Indian

sat inside in meditation. "Ahem, pardon me. Are you The Grand Ox?" Said Ted.

"Don't you recognize me? My friend." The old man opened his eyes and replied.

Ted's face turned pale as if he had seen a ghost. "It's you...20 years...I haven't seen

you since you showed me the book at Ashmolean." "Here I am again. Sent here to

show you the way." Art stood there in awe but was a little disappointed since this

Grand Ox was a little old man in blanket, less than five feet.

~Realm of Virtue~

Art then told the shaman his problems. Listened, smiled and offered his smoking pipe

to Art and Ted who both politely asked the old man to smoke first. The Grand Ox

pondered for a while and declared that Art's dilemma warranted answers from the

higher spiritual realm, the Realm of Virtue where Pearl of Tranquility would enlighten

them. Smoking the pipe, the Grand Ox said with a hollow voice seemed he was

speaking to them in a distance away, "If people don't march to corns, corns shall

march to people, and they shall multiply throughout the land." Art and Ted turned to

each other, puzzled, "Corns? March? Multiply? How?"

"But beeeware of the..." Hooooyoooo...BANG!”  As a short and skinny man, he surely

made a huge sound when he collapsed to the ground as if a giant timber had fell.

The duo stood and overlooked the Grand Ox, "zzzZZZ...." I guess we have to wait

until The Grand Ox awoke for the answer to Farmer Art's quest in the next episode of

Midwestville.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The moral lesson, if any, is go to school and read your books. If the Book of

Timeshadow is revealed to you, start your own hi-tech empire.

What happened to Art's corn business? Did the Grand Ox's advices work? What's the

warning the Grand Ox was trying to utter before falling asleep? Are we in trouble?

Please follow the next episode of Midwestville. The complete and full answer to

Farmer Art's dilemma will be published with each episode's release while we are still

looking for our funding partners as well as our team.
