Here are 6 things that you may not know about me. Number 1, I'm an Australian-born Vietnamese that grew up in Sydney. Come on, best city on the planet. Do you agree? Comment below. Number 2, my mum was a single mum of 4 boys. My dad remarried and had 2 other sons, so I actually have 5 brothers. Number 3, I was the valedictorian of my school, which is called the high school dux in Australia, and I studied hard. I was a typical Asian that had thick market glasses because my parents told me to study hard because that's the secret to success. Number 4, I've been best man 5 times now. That's 5 best man speeches, 5 bachelor parties I've had to organize, and 5 times I had to drink all the drinks for the bachelor, for the groom, and get plastered on the wedding day. Number 5, my 3 daughters are named under US presidents: Kennedy, Reagan, Carter. Why? Because my father named my brothers under US presidents. I have a brother named Nixon, a brother named McKinley, and a brother named Clinton. And so I kept the tradition going. Number 6, I don't smoke, not because I don't like it and not because of the health risks. It's actually because I can't handle nicotine. Anytime I have the tiniest amount of nicotine, I literally throw up and I'm spinning like crazy. I don't know, maybe I'm just super weak. So those are the 6 things that you may not know about me.
