Many people ask how I began this work and what led me to build Two Asian Matchmakers. Like many meaningful journeys, it started with a simple realization: relationships deserve the same level of intention and care that we give to our careers, our health, and our future.
How My Journey Began
Before becoming a matchmaker, I worked in upper management at a Fortune 500 company. In December 2006, I made a decision that changed the course of my life. I stepped away from corporate leadership and began exploring the idea of starting a dating company.
At the time, I spent countless hours researching, reading books about entrepreneurs, and studying the dating industry. I even applied for positions at established dating companies, hoping to learn from within. When those opportunities didn’t materialize, I asked myself a different question:
Why work for someone else when I could build something of my own?
In 2007, I started my matchmaking company at my kitchen table in Los Angeles. It was a humble beginning, but it was fueled by curiosity, determination, and a genuine desire to help people find meaningful relationships.
I’ve always enjoyed connecting with others, listening to their stories, and understanding what truly matters to them. That natural inclination became the foundation of my work. Over time, I noticed an increasing number of men reaching out with a very specific request: they wanted to meet Asian women who shared their values, cultural appreciation, and long-term relationship goals.
That demand helped shape the direction of my business.
Building a Niche With Purpose
As the years passed, I developed a clear focus, serving men of all backgrounds across Los Angeles and throughout the United States who are seeking meaningful relationships with Asian women.
Today, our network has grown into one of the largest private communities of relationship-minded Asian women in the country. These women are accomplished, thoughtful, and serious about partnership. Many value family, personal growth, and long-term compatibility.
What began as a small idea has evolved into a lifelong passion.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of arranging introductions that led to committed relationships, engagements, marriages, and families. Watching those stories unfold remains one of the most rewarding parts of my work.
And it continues to motivate me every day.
Lessons From Building a Business
Starting a company, especially one centered on relationships, is never without challenges.
Like most entrepreneurs, I learned through experience, persistence, and sometimes trial and error. In the early years, I experimented with different marketing channels, partnerships, and strategies. Some worked well. Others did not.
One of the most valuable lessons I learned was the importance of protecting the integrity of the brand. Not every opportunity is the right opportunity. There were moments when I had to politely decline partnerships or events that didn’t align with our values or long-term vision.
That discipline helped shape the company into what it is today.
Another turning point came when I invested in professional guidance for my business. Hiring a coach provided clarity and perspective, allowing me to focus on the work that truly moves the business forward: serving clients, building relationships, and continuously improving our process.
I also learned an important lesson about value.
In the beginning, many entrepreneurs, myself included, underestimate the worth of their expertise. Over time, I came to understand that the time, discretion, and personalized attention we provide are meaningful investments in our clients’ lives.
That realization strengthened my commitment to delivering exceptional service.
What Makes Our Approach Different
My philosophy has always been simple:
Quality relationships require focused attention.
I do not believe in multitasking when it comes to matchmaking. Every client receives individualized care, thoughtful guidance, and honest feedback throughout the process.
When I work with a client, I take the time to understand:
- • Their values
- • Their lifestyle
- • Their relationship goals
- • Their long-term vision for partnership
From there, I carefully evaluate potential matches with a close and deliberate eye. Compatibility is never assumed; it is thoughtfully considered.
My role is to advocate for my clients, highlight their strengths, and introduce them to women who are genuinely aligned with their values and intentions.
Privacy is also a cornerstone of our work. Many of our clients are executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals who prefer discretion in their personal lives. I respect that completely. Every introduction is handled with confidentiality and care.
And when two people are ready to meet, my team and I take care of the details.
We coordinate schedules, select an appropriate venue, make reservations, and ensure the experience feels comfortable and seamless. This allows both individuals to focus on what matters most, the conversation and the connection.
Who We Serve Best
Our clients are typically successful professionals who value their time and want a more intentional approach to dating.
They have worked hard to build meaningful careers, maintain their health, and nurture strong relationships with family and friends. When it comes to finding a partner, they want the same level of thoughtfulness and efficiency.
The men we work with invest in the process, and the women in our network join at no cost when they are a strong match for one of our clients. This structure allows us to maintain a curated, high-quality environment for everyone involved.
One principle I remain deeply committed to is honesty.
If I believe I am not the right fit for someone, I will tell them directly and respectfully. Protecting trust is more important than signing a contract.
The Qualities That Matter Most in Matchmaking
People often ask what makes someone successful in this profession.
For me, the answer comes down to a few essential qualities:
Compassion. Empathy. Patience.
Every client arrives with a unique story: sometimes hopeful, sometimes discouraged, and often uncertain about what comes next. My role is to support them, guide them, and help them move forward with clarity and confidence.
At times, that means offering encouragement.
At other times, it means providing honest feedback, even when it is difficult to hear.
There is a balance between being supportive and being truthful. Both are necessary for growth and lasting relationships.
After each introduction, we provide thoughtful feedback to help our clients refine their approach and become more confident in the dating process. Over time, this guidance helps them build stronger connections and make better relationship decisions.
A Commitment That Continues
What began at a kitchen table in Los Angeles has grown into a trusted matchmaking service serving clients across the United States and internationally.
Yet the core mission remains the same:
To create meaningful introductions that lead to lasting relationships.
Every day, I am grateful for the opportunity to help people find companionship, partnership, and love. I remain committed to approaching this work with integrity, discretion, and care.
