Dr. Casey Youn

"Sangsun Yaksu (상선약수, 上善若水) Flow with water, flow with nature" are the words that Dr. Casey Youn continues to carry with him as he flows through his own life; taking any opportunities that comes his way. Born just 7 years before the Korean War broke out, Dr. Youn developed an altruism to give back to community after seeing the aid that the U.S. gave back to Korea during a time of devastation and need. To this day, Dr. Young uses his various work skills - which range from chemical engineering to coffee shop owner - to give back to his Korean American community. He now acts as President of the Korean American Association & Community Center of Houston.
