Born and raised on Oahu, I have always been a local boy at heart. Moving away in 2006 to attend community college in Orange County, eventually transferring to USC I always knew I’d be back someday. After graduating, I worked in advertising with the eventual goal to pursue a media sales position until I was called by my parents to see if I was interested in learning the family business. This decision was not easy knowing the pressure to prove my worth at a company that had grown quite a bit since I left home, but I knew this would be an opportunity worthwhile should I be able to succeed. Like many sons/daughters in my shoes, entering a family business started by our parents, there is little structure when it comes to training and plenty of “constructive criticism”. In addition to the pressures of proving yourself, there are the complicated aspects of family dynamics that come into play, sometimes resulting in an absence of professionalism. All in all, I find myself fortunate to have the opportunity to carry on my family’s legacy contributing a fresh perspective, while also honoring the vision my parents have in mind.

Plans of becoming a doctor were suddenly thrown off course when Dominic failed the MCAT - and if you could fail while going the “safe” route, you might as well fail while doing what you love.
With that in mind, Dominic booked a one-way ticket from Madison to Los Angeles to pursue acting. He managed to land a gig as Tang Wei’s acting coach for a film in Hong Kong...but even that dream was short-lived, ending just a couple of weeks into the job.
Taking things in stride, Dominic turned his side hustle as an SEO strategist into a full-time remote job while traveling to over 30 countries - reading, learning, experiencing. He’s now the founder and CEO of a multi-million dollar marketing agency, and a Forbes 30 Under 30 recipient. An unconventional path, to say the least...but it worked out. And by sharing life and career advice with the next generation of graduates, Dominic hopes to use his platform and experience to encourage them to chase after what they want.

“Andy Nguyen is the mash-up king in the food industry.” - Food Network
He co-founded Afters Ice Cream and has reshaped the millennial age F&B industry. With 20 locations in Southern California (and more to come), Afters Ice Cream has been both an entrepreneurial and social media phenomenon with thousands of people turning up for their store openings/events. And that’s only one of the many restaurant concepts Andy and his team have started, to spice up the new dining and lifestyle scene!
But Andy's journey to ice cream-filled donut success wasn't easy... Like many entrepreneurs, Andy and school didn't get along so well, and he was quickly bored with his first "real" jobs.
After a dozen-plus year of struggle including adventures in real estate, re-selling sneakers, and Coachella VIP vendor, Andy founded a world-wide clothing brand, several food ventures, and a consulting agency, too. He has even started his own non-profit, Passion Chasers, to help the next generation of dreamers find their own entrepreneurial spark.
Andy's story from the inside, including how he uses brand awareness and storytelling to appeal to future brand builders of their own. His influence and goals of helping improve the food scene and pumping new life into other cities. It's his unorthodox approach and insights into modern branding, marketing, and how to get your grind on; that has set him apart from the rest.
