 Had an incredible time at the Arizona Prayer Breakfast. I am honored to be a part of the board who host the event!
Grateful to be surrounded by so many faith-driven leaders and community members committed to lifting up Arizona.
Each message was powerful, hopeful, and a reminder that even in challenging times, there is purpose, unity, and a path forward.
Leaving inspired, encouraged, and more hopeful than ever. Praise Jesus!
 Pharmaceutical manufacturing future is happening RIGHT HERE in Maricopa County.
Had a fantastic conversation with Medivant Healthcare CEO Viraj Gandhi and the whole team.
Their bold vision? Building a complete pharma ecosystem in the East Valley modeled after our semiconductor success, suppliers, talent, infrastructure, and innovation all converging in one place. Arizona is the new land of opportunity!
East Valley is built for it: great education, advanced manufacturing talent, and a smart long-term economic strategy that strengthens our communities. Loved the productive roundtable with the US Chamber of Commerce, Chandler Chamber, City of Chandler, and US Congressman Greg Stanton.
County & local officials all aligned on clearing the path for growth. Check out what they’re building: https://lnkd.in/gK2n46Fk
 Congratulations to all of the Chandler Chamber Economic Development and ASU Venture Challenge entries.
The seventh cohort of the venture challenge is proof that entrepreneurship and startup energy is booming in the East Valley.
Years ago, with the support of my colleagues at the Chandler City Council and ASU, we set this vision in motion. It’s really great to see the incredible impact it's making on our startup ecosystem and more importantly, the entrepreneurs that this program supports.
 Wow!! Big thank you to Kristin Slice, the Arizona Commerce Authority, and ASU J Orin Edson Entrepreneur and Innovation institute for having me out to speak tonight at Venture Start during #AZTechWeek.
Honestly, the best part was just being in the room. I could feel the energy of many future job creators getting ready to build something of their own. This type of connection is what makes #Arizona special.
You’ve got groups like the Arizona Commerce Authority, ASU, and strong community leaders all working together to support entrepreneurs and small businesses, the heartbeat of a thriving economy. This event took me back to when I was getting started 15 years ago. A lot of learning, a lot of risk, but it’s worth it. I am excited to see what this next group builds.
 It’s always energizing to be in a room with leaders and innovators shaping the future of tech, policy, and economic growth. The conversations around innovation, infrastructure, and public-private collaboration were especially impactful.
Looking forward to continuing these conversations and bringing back insights that help strengthen our communities.
 The promise of opportunity and prosperity is alive and well in Arizona.
I was honored to express my thanks and share admiration of the entrepreneurial spirit of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce Arizona at the annual awards and scholarship dinner with community leaders from around the state.
Thank you to President Lisa Liu Ritchie, MBA, Barry Wong, JD, and Sam Szeto for the great hospitality and fun evening!
 My team attended the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office “They Served Well” Memorial as we remembered and honored the brave men and women who gave their lives in the line of duty.
Their courage, service, and sacrifice will never be forgotten. We owe a lasting debt of gratitude to these heroes and to the families who continue to carry their legacy forward.
