Mike Hu was born in Taipei, Taiwan.  At the age of thirteen, he and his family immigrated to the United States.  Mike lived in Fairfield, San Francisco for seven years until he moved to Washington State in 1991.

Mike started his career early at the age of twenty-one as an owner of the Chinese restaurant in Tacoma.  Mike learned many valuable lessons from his restaurant working experiences that has affected his life significantly.  He watched, he learned and he acted.  Mike’s working philosophy was “do more, talk less”.  At that time, he spent 12 hours working at the restaurant everyday, and after work, he found a little time to pick up his old hobby – fixing computers. He enjoyed working on computers and studied a lot of computer related books during his spare time.  In 1999, he decided to sell his restaurant to explore more possibilities in the computer field as his career.   

In 2000, John Franich, the CTO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of South Puget Sound, offered a great volunteer opportunity for Mike as his first step to enter the computer world.  He was hired as a Webmaster after weeks of volunteering at the Boys & Girls Clubs of South Puget Sound.  Ever since then, his life has totally changed.  Mike and computers are connected.  His great passion for computer technology has been increasing day by day and he really enjoys taking challenges and helping people to solve computer problems.

For Mike, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sound Puget Sound is like a mutual school, everyone learns from each other.  Life is about learning.  He knows he will always love his computer career and will keep devoting himself to help more people in need.
