The youngest child of a Chinese father and Thai mother, Paul came to the US to study but then found his golden opportunity and stayed. Through years of his own hard work and unswerving commitment with help from his family, he carved out a life in the US and settled in Boulder county. Paul and Edward Vanegas created Urban Thai and Kafe Urban in Longmont.
