The Biography of

Tom Tang


I was born in Tainan, Taiwan, in 1988. And at the age of one, my family and I immigrated here to Prince George, British Columbia, where we still reside today.

I grew up exposed to both Eastern and Western cultures; thus I am a hybrid of both, creating what we Asians call a Banana (an Asian exterior with a Western mindset). My parents run a small tourism business, and my brother, John, is a university student at UBC. Once he leaves, my two Labradors will keep me company at home.

I began school at College Heights Elementary; I then moved on to Duchess Park Secondary School. Throughout the years, I have always excelled at academics and achieved high marks. I have a huge interest in music that truly shows, for I play the violin, piano, and also the trombone in the school band.

The future for me is still undecided. I have not yet chosen a field in which I will strive, but with so much time still, I am sure to know in the coming years.
