Daisy was born in Hong Kong on July 20, 1979.  She is the oldest of 4 in her family with 2 younger sisters and one youngest brother.  Her father came to the U.S. when she turned one to pave the grounds for her family's eventual move.  She lived with her mother and her sister in HK - first with the rest of her dad's family - then after a few years, her dad sent home enough money for them to move out into their own flat in HK.  She lived there until she move to Poughkeepsie NY after 3rd grade.  After coming to the U.S., she attended 4th grade at Warring Magnet Academy and was introduced to the elbow grease working life in her family's restaurant.  From then on, she was taught the value of a dollar, work ethics and general business / financial management.  At that time, she was not mentally mature enough to take in the lessons and resented having to work all the time, but now looking back, she has deep respect and gratitude towards her parents.  She also deeply respects her father for making the long and lonely journey across the world for the sake of his family.  He was apart from his family for many years before they were reunited.  Daisy's mother would tell her how her family/friends' fathers would do the same thing, but some abandoned their family in HK to pursue a new life in the U.S. with a new family... one of whom didn't tell his HK family for many years, and the devastating effect it had on the lives of the ones left behind.  Through that, she was taught the moral obligations of each of the decisions she makes and the power of a strong husband/wife team.  Daisy's parents were not only life partners, but business partners as well.  She is truly inspired by how her parents worked together to build something from nothing and is well on her way to try to achieve the same thing with her husband Todd.  Even with her parents as an inspiring example, she has no clue most of the time of how to do it and is still learning to enjoy the journey along the way... because that is the most important part.
