About Dr. Zen:

Born in Taiwan, Dr. Zen came to the United States in the 6th grade and moved to the Big Island of Hawaii in 1983. When he was 16 years old, his parents insisted he travel through East Asia by himself. After that experience, he decided to study East Asian Sociology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. 

After graduating from UH, Dr. Zen traveled through Southeast Asia where he says he came to realize how difficult it can be to make positive changes, especially on a large scale. He decided he could make the biggest impact by helping people in pain and made the decision to become a chiropractor. Dr. Zen then traveled to Huston, Texas where he finished preliminary requirements for chiropractic school and also learned the two step. He was accepted to the world's oldest and most famous school of chiropractics, Palmer Chiropractic College. Dr. Zen graduated with honors and moved to Taiwan where he opened a successful practice.

While in Taiwan, Dr. Zen was asked to write an article titled "Get to Know Your Foot" which was published and used to teach students at the local medical school. He was also frequently featured in radio broadcasts and answered questions about chiropractic medicine. In 1995, Dr. Zen decided to move back to Hawaii to be closer to family and to give his children the opportunity to experience the Aloha spirit. 

Since moving back to Hawaii, Dr. Zen has become the designated chiropractor for the marathon training group TeamJet Hawaii and also consults with the World Championship Deca-Triathlon. He also regularly consults with many local athletes and competes in running events.
