I was born in Luangprabang, Laos and has been a U.S. naturalized citizen since 1984. I received my undergraduate degree in Irrigation & Hydraulics engineering from Irrigation Institute of Nonthabury in Thailand in 1975 and I earned my graduate degree from California State San Marcos, San Diego County, California in Business Administration and Leadership Studies in 2001. I speaks five languages: Laotian, Vietnamese, Thai, English and some French. When I arrived in San Diego, California on April 9, 1976, I am currently the founder / Citizen maker of the Global Childe Citizenship Services, which I founded since 1990 in order to promote civic education to the Asian immigrants for successful citizenship and promoted immigrant integration in the United States. I assisted more than 600 Asian immigrants to become successful U.S. citizens.

I was named on the American Immigrant Wall of Honor by the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, New York Harbor, New York and I was listed in 2012 Marquis's Who Who in America & in the World and Who's Who of Asian Americans and I am an award winner of the 2006 Asian Heritage Society Art/Philosophy/ Literature.

I came to America in search of personal freedom, economic opportunity, and future hope for my family.

I meet my other half Vilaykhone Connie Simuong , and we are married on January 29, 1977. We later go on to have three children; Bobby, George and Valentina and Lisa Atkinson, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren; Hayelee and Fox.

America is a country strengthened by its immigrant foundation and founded on the democratic principles that have America great.
