“If you can make a positive influence here, you can make a positive influence, everywhere” I hope to inspire goodness to the next generation, because these are the people that will be left taking care of the world our children and grandchildren will be living in.

I had the pleasure to interview Gary Sze Kong, J.D. Gary is a successful Chinese American self-made real estate mogul and philanthropist. Born in Fujian, China, Gary Kong attended school in Hong Kong until the age of sixteen before migrating to the Unites States. He went on to attend New York University Stern School of Business and to graduate with a Bachelor of Laws, Master of Laws, and ultimately a Juris Doctor from the Law School of Southwest International University. In 2013, Gary became the first Chinese immigrant to open and own his own vineyard in the United States, The 1 Wine. In 2016, he launched Classic New York beer. Gary Kong serves as investor, Executive producer and co-founder of the Classic New York Gala.

Thank you so much for joining us! Can you tell us a story…
