Through Bob's current vocation as both CEO and Chairman of FirstPathway Partners and President of Invest in the USA (IIUSA), he actively pursues USCCC’s mission of obtaining successful multi-cultural partnerships within his comprehensive network. His leadership, extensive network, and passion for China and Asia as a whole, are invaluable assets for USCCC to serve and bring the community together to prosper in the new decade. In the past decades, Bob has brought in millions of foreign direct investments and created hundreds of jobs in the U.S.
