The start of this year has felt like a relentless roller coaster—full of sharp turns, unexpected drops, and moments that forced us to hold on tighter than we anticipated. We faced challenges early on, getting outbid again and again, each time feeling like can we even afford a new home . But persistence paid off, and we finally found our way into our first home together, a milestone that made every setback along the way feel meaningful. At the same time, life didn’t slow down to let us catch our breath. Between recovering from broken ribs after a motorcycle racing accident and the exhausting yet exciting process of unpacking and turning a house into something that feels like our own, it’s been both physically and emotionally demanding. Just as we were finding our rhythm, we were hit with the heartbreaking loss of a dear friend—a reminder of how fragile and unpredictable life can be. Yet, in the midst of all of this, there’s been something grounding and real: reconnecting with the people who matter most. Spending more time with friends, sharing stories, and being present with one another has added a sense of balance to everything else going on. Life has a way of becoming more complex as we get older—higher highs, deeper lows, and everything in between carrying more weight. But maybe that’s also what makes it richer. Thank you for all the support and love!

The Biltwell 100 was something else. I’d known about it for years, and finally got my shot. Everyone says treat it like a trail ride, not a race. but my heart was all in from the jump. A couple miles in, I went down… and by the third crash, I knew something was seriously off. Six ribs broken. 4th fall Big toe fractured. But I was already deep in it—no way I was waiting around to be rescued. Still had 15/25 miles to go. Huge respect to the riders who stopped, helped me out, even hooked it up with some painkillers. Every mile hurt, but I wanted that finish. It was raw, painful, and honestly humbling. Definitely lit a fire in me to come back stronger and do it right next time. Big thank you to @biltwell and all the homies and sistas showing love ❤️

Two decades on two wheels and I still feel like I’m just getting started. Motorcycling has never just been about the ride—it’s about the people who inspire you, the ones who share their stories, their time, and their passion so freely. Watching them chase their craft lit something in me that never really went away. That’s why I’ve been diving into something new—racing vintage motorcycles. I’ve always loved them, the sound, the history, the soul—but stepping into it now reminds me that it’s never too late to start. There’s so much to learn, and honestly, that’s the best part. The community around it? Some of the kindest, most genuine people you’ll ever meet. It’s not just about speed—it’s about connection, respect, and keeping something timeless alive. Biltwell 100 race coming up soon. Looking forward to it! Thanks to @newyorkcitymotorcycles and the homies in New York for inspiring me. @hellonwheelsmc @deusexmachina.usa @gteeeee @ingmarb @lepapillon.garage

I love a last-minute, spontaneous modeling gig. The beauty of having a motorcycle (okay, secret… don’t tell everyone) is being able to park for free for hours or days, it honestly changes everything. To make life even easier, I highly recommend getting TSA PreCheck. A lot of credit cards cover it too. I know I sound like a walking ad—which, technically, I am since I get paid for to model, but I genuinely just want to share the little tools that make traveling smoother and way more stress-free. No traffic, no long lines, just peace of mind. Big thank you to my agency @nomadmgmt_west @blaubukalaura @assadkeval for believing in me and sending me on such fun, incredible gigs. On the way to Utah! #model #motorcycle #lifestyle #delta #bmwmoto

Already this year has begun with a flood of memories. It’s the Year of the Horse, and I feel a bit like a mustang—running not across open plains, but through a landscape of obstacles, challenges, and unexpected friendships. This Lunar New Year has been unlike any before. So many nights gathered around tables, laughter stretching late into the evening, the rhythm of tiles clicking together. Mahjong has opened a door to an entirely new community for both of us and for our friends too. It’s not just the hustle of the table—it’s the friendships forming between rounds, the way we show up for each other through both the hard days and the good ones. At the same time, we’re standing at the edge of a big change. We’re searching for our first home together, preparing to leave the house where so many memories were built. It’s bittersweet to close a chapter that held so much of our story. But that’s the beautiful thing about new beginnings—another chapter waiting to be written, another place where laughter, late nights, and friendships will gather again. And within it all is the possibility of growth—growing into new spaces, new experiences, and deeper connections. Like a mustang still running forward, not just toward a new home, but toward whatever the horizon has waiting for us. 🐎✨

After a long week of working and trying to balance life, I finally got some time after work to wrench on the motorcycle and prep for my first vintage race at Glen Helen with @hellonwheelsmc , @beermanmw @lepapillon.garage The day started off interesting—around 6 a.m., this young guy suddenly crossed the street. I came to a complete stop, thinking he’d keep walking… then he decided to jump on the hood of my car, talking about suing and calling the police on me. Trying to bring my window and that was enough bullshit for me!! . I had zero time for that nonsense—shook him off and never looked back. Once I arrived at the track, everything shifted. I met so many amazing people and familiar faces. We talked motorcycles, talked life, and shared stories. I learned a lot out on the track and walked away hungry for more. Most importantly I finished and didn’t get hurt!! Already looking forward to the next race. Thank you

Behind all the smiles and the daily hustle, the start of 2026 has been quite challenging. Been on the plane 8 times in two week. Life is not perfect or filled with laughter all the time, no matter who you are. I believe we all face struggles in one way or another—whether it’s financial pressure, family issues, relationships, health, or mental well-being. The hardest part isn’t the struggle itself, but learning how to move through those moments without losing yourself. Some people carry heavier burdens than others, and honestly… man, am I tired. Tired of trying to stay strong, tired of holding it together, tired of pretending it’s all okay when it’s not. Growing up in a society where everything costs so much—money, time, energy, even peace—can feel overwhelming. It makes you question what you’re working toward and whether slowing down is even allowed. So how does one find peace? Maybe it starts with being honest about the weight we carry, giving ourselves permission to feel exhausted, and remembering that we’re human before anything else. Maybe peace isn’t something we find all at once, but something we build quietly, one small moment at a time. What do you do? Seriously thank you to those who’s been by my side !

14 years ago day after new years!! Good times growing up in New York City. Footage filmed by Xavier.

December has a quiet way of slowing time down. The days are shorter, the air feels heavier with reflection, and suddenly everything asks for our attention at once, work deadlines, friends we haven’t seen enough, and family moments we don’t want to miss. Balancing it all isn’t easy. Work doesn’t pause just because the year is ending, and ambition still whispers even when the calendar says “holiday.” Friends reach out with warmth and nostalgia, reminding us how important shared laughter and late-night conversations are. Family pulls us home, sometimes physically, sometimes emotionally—asking us to be present, patient, and grateful. The beauty of December is learning that balance doesn’t mean doing everything perfectly. It means showing up where we can, with honesty and intention. It’s finishing the workday and allowing ourselves to unplug. It’s choosing quality over quantity, one meaningful dinner, one real conversation, one quiet moment to breathe. December teaches us that life isn’t just about moving forward; it’s also about pausing to appreciate how far we’ve come and who we’ve come with. In that balance, between responsibility and rest, connection and solitude, we find something special: a gentle reminder that the people and moments we make time for are what carry us into the new year. Wishing you all a happy holidays and thank you for being my friend.

Being a model isn’t just the moments people see—the polished images, the travel, the final result. It’s the countless days and long nights spent self-taping in quiet rooms, setting up lights, adjusting angles, and doing take after take when no one is watching. It’s easy, in those moments, to feel unmotivated. To question the process. To wonder if it’s worth it. But I do it because I truly enjoy the work. There’s something honest about showing up, even when the excitement fades and discipline has to take over. So on the days when motivation is low, I kick myself in the butt and remind myself why I started—to create, to connect, to keep chasing that feeling of being alive in the work. And none of this would be the same without my wife, Sarah. Thank you for standing behind the camera, running lines, adjusting frames, and believing in me on the days when I feel tired or unsure. Your support in so many castings means more than words can say. This journey isn’t just mine. it’s ours. Respect to all the hard working people out there! @nomadmgmt_west . . . . . #model #acting #asianamerican #asianmodel #motorcycle #lifestyle
