    At just 11 years old, Tim and his brother escaped Vietnam on a fishing boat, enduring a dangerous 7-day journey to Malaysia that included a pirate attack.

    After settling in Houston, Texas, in Section 8 housing, Tim transitioned from a career in IT during the dot-com era to becoming a successful real estate investor.
