I used to work in notebook company for years in Taiwan. Job function is project control. Now I am an Uber driver.

I love music especially Jazz. I enjoy to play saxophone with friends. Also I love surfing very much. Have to go to beach every week.

I have a small vegetable garden in the beach town. It is a happy job to work in the nature. And fresh vegetable is best reward.
