Fun facts about Alvin: In his younger years he was a boy scout but unlike his younger brother did not get to become an Eagle Scout. He was the president of the Biology high school club and then went on to college to pursue his BS degree in Business majoring in Finance and Banking. In his spare time he lead his crew of 4 in inter-school regattas and also started to get into the martial arts of Aikido which he still actively does. He was finally able to go to the Aikido headquarters in Tokyo, Japan last year and was able to attend a couple of classes. In 2001, Alvin decided to shift industries and obtained his BS Nursing degree in 2005. He has 18 years of nursing experience in Perioperative Services and has a combined leadership experience of 15 years both in the financial and healthcare field. When not at work, Alvin loves to travel with his wife and 12 year old son Patrick. They have a mini-golden doodle named Presley who’s now 14 months and has endless energy and love to give.
