Comfort zone is a safe place for a person to get the result they desire, the challenges within it are often easy and achievable. However, a sea without waves can’t make a sailor great. Step towards the unknown, challenge yourself to achieve things you thought you couldn’t accomplish, and unlock secret paths that bring you to the new level of your career. Jeffrey is an international student from Taiwan who came to America to pursue his dream of becoming a physical therapist/athletic trainer. He dedicated most of his time to baseball, but when he puts his workout outfit aside, he’s also a car enthusiast, and a road cyclist - you might have seen him on the bike somewhere around the bay area.
