As an engineer, he worked nineteen years with IBM and fifteen years as a professor of electrical engineering at San Jose State University. He was recognized as a leading authority of magnetic actuator design. He published extensively in the field of magnetic aspects of electromechanical devices, including a book, Electromechanical Motion Devices, Prentice Hall. He is a holder and co-holder of fifty-two inventions that were either published in the IBM Invention Disclosure Bulletin or filed for U.S. patents.
With all his professional accomplishments, he did not forget his life’s journey through Korea as the last son of a Christian minister. He did not forget his father in prison under Japan’s rule. He did not forget his fifteen-year-old brother, volunteering to join the Japanese military in the hope of having his father released from prison, coming home after World War II, and dying from his injury. He did not forget his father who was taken away by the communists during the Korean War, never to return. He did not forget his mother whose life had been shattered by the wars, but who led her last son with love and wisdom.
After retiring in 2002, he decided to spend his remaining years sharing his life stories with the world. My Truest Hope was published in the August 2012 issue of Guideposts magazine. My Truest Hope won the award for Writers talk Challenge for Memoir by South Bay Branch of California Writers Club in February 2013. Also, Blossoms and Bayonets co-authored with Jana McBurney-Lin was e-published in October 2012, and the print version was published in 2013.
