Kevin Chao Has Arrived At His Destination September 10, 2014 It's about time that I can finally say that my life feels complete... I have retired twice at the age of 24. I invested a lot of energy into academia and the financial services, spent lots of energy at an educational institution and in the banking world; in July 2014, I took out my 401K and pension plans from the University System of Georgia and JPMorgan Chase. I am engaged with the love of my life with a glamorous house, fancy cars, animals as babies... All American blonde (French, Irish, and Swedish) woman; 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, spacious front/backyards; Mercedes E350, Mitsubishi Eclipse; Exotic Australian Bird and Poodle/Shih Tzu/Maltez dogs; And, we will get married on 10/17/14, exactly a quarter-of-a-century after the big earthquake in the San Francisco Bay Area... ON September 8, 2014, I formed my own not-for-profit organization, which is in academia, an educational campaign, an awareness effort for those of us who are blind/visually impaired...
