My Story

Ron is instrumental in shaping the “go to market” strategy and marketing execution for the 75th Anniversary of the end of WWII, and producing the Chinese American G.I. Project. This includes content and direction of the webinar, online ceremony, digital exhibit, movie, book, website and all marketing / web materials. Ron’s passion for this project is to honor his father, Alfred Chan (97), WWII U.S. Navy Seabee, and Al’s 1300+ California Congressional Gold Medal comrades in arms.
