Han completed his undergraduate studies at Hobart William Smith Colleges where he received his Bachelors in 1997. Han was active in various intermural sports and spent a semester abroad at Yonsei University. He has worked at various companies such as Oracle, LexisNexis, and IBM before pursuing his passion to build his own career and business, Life Multimedia. Han’s passions in and for life was immense and large. He loved to invest in everyone he met, and his career was built around those relationships with the intent to be a storyteller. His dedication to his business as a Content Strategist and Corporate Storyteller included prominent businesses in and around St. Augustine, FL. These business relationships turned into his extended families that included Nimnicht Chevrolet, Caps on the Water, Sunset Grill, Ginger-Bistro, and so many more. Growing up and throughout his entire life, Han found joy when he was outdoors in the sun actively working out. His earliest passion that lasted throughout his life, was tennis and photography, both of which he taught himself. Growing up, you would often find Han hitting tennis balls at his local elementary school, perfecting his strokes and serves. No matter where he was, Han would always find a local tennis court early in the morning to pick up a game with fellow players he might have never met before. His more recent passions as an adult, included motorcycling and road cycling. He has been described as a friend that puts his whole heart into everyone and everything he does. Han lived his life with full joy and passion, never letting a day be wasted. Han’s goal in life was to raise his son, Ethan, to be the best person he could be. Ethan and his family was everything to him. He would take every opportunity to boast about how proud he was of Ethan and how amazing Ethan’s talent for golf was developing.
