Ui An (Vice President) joined the CPAF Board in October 2018 and has been a donor since 2015. Ui was born in South Korea and immigrated to Texas when he was only 1 year old. Most of his childhood was spent in Houston until his college years where he attended Texas A&M and graduated in 1995. Ui currently serve as the Engineering Director for Valero Energy.

On a more personal note, Ui grew up in a traditional Korean family-valued home, and unfortunately a home that included years of domestic violence. Ui and his sister begged their mother to leave for her well-being for as long as he can remember. As a Korean immigrant that could not speak English in a city where an Asian community was non-existent, she chose to stay and protect her children. When Ui first read CPAF’s mission and the services they provide, he knew this is an organization that he needed to be a part of.
