After graduating from Dong-Kuk University with Law degree, working as the Director of Export for his brother's Handcraft and Brass Exporting business out of Korea, Mr. Tak worked at most every World's Fair beginning in the earlier 1960's introducing Korea's Brassware products and various other products from Korea to the area. His dedication and hard work at these Expos caused his products to be sold out before the end of the Fair each year.
