Phillip Nguyen Shares his Rags to Riches Story on WKTV’s “Feel like You Belong”

April 3, 2015Area Education, Local FacesFeel Like You Belong, Phillip NguyenJoanne

Orphaned at a young age, Phillip Nguyen spent his youth in Vietnam bouncing between the streets of homelessness and the occasional care of any relative who would take him in. At age 18, he landed in a refugee camp with a third-grade education and an uncertain future. How did this child of war time become a business owner and civic leader in a mid-sized American city? Join us for a touching story of pluck, hard work, and a little spiritual intervention.
