Ced's Bio

Name	Cedric CW Cheng, Jr (that's my full and legal name!)
Aliases	A lot of my closest friends call me "Ced", my usual call sign is "Cedman" and my Pi Kapp nickname is "Nixon."
Birthday	May 28, 1972 (for my age, you do the math)
Birthplace	Kansas City, Missouri (believe it or not!)
Residence	The East Bay Area of SF Bay Area (about 35 miles east of San Francisco)
Education	Bachelor of Arts in Economics with a minor in Asian American Studies in 1995 from San Francisco State University. Currently a student at JFKU as an MBA candidate.
Occupation	Freelance Graphic Designer for both print and web. Visit Cedric Cheng Design! Also, Chairman and CEO of The C.H. Group, LLC, a holding company which oversees all my business ventures
The future	Though the future is uncertain with only "the man upstairs" knowing what our paths lie, I do hope for a few things. One of course is success and happiness. That's a huge order but all it takes is focus and knowing what you want and proceed on doing that. It's also called following your dreams. With that, I hope that I can succeed in the business world. On a personal level, I hope that I found that special someone so stayed tuned...
Politics	It depends on the issue. I probably fall somewhere in the middle. I don't prescribe to a particular philosophy or US political party. I do have opinions on a lot of issues and I have certain beliefs and principles. I'll leave it at that.
Interests	Varied! To be brief, I enjoy trying out new places to eat, traveling, bowling, and hanging out with friends. Some other interests are collecting coins and currency (money!!!), collecting Transformers (thanks to the internet, my interest has been reborn) and football (I'm a 49ers and Chiefs fan!!!)
Favorite Food	Too many to list
Favorite quote	"Wherever you go, there you are "- Buckaroo Banzai
Quote we should live by	"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance"- Thomas Jefferson

Ten Principles I try to go by	One, be loyal to the people you care about. Two, be a true friend. Three, be thankful for what you have. Four, don't be arrogant (if you can help it.) Five, don't be egotistical (don't believe in your own press.) Six, don't be ignorant, know what's happening around you Seven, give back to your community and make a difference. Eight, try not to let anyone take advantage of you. Nine, be humble, share your accomplishments, and admit your mistakes Finally, RESPECT. But remember, respect is a two-way street. If someone doesn't give you respect, then they don't deserve yours.
