WHY CHENCHIASIN?
David is the first in his family to be born in the United States. His parents immigrated to the U.S. in 1968 from Taiwan and when David was born, he was given a Chinese name (Chia-sin) as well as his english name. In Chinese tradition, people are addressed by their last surname, then their given name. For David, this became Chen Chia-sin, hence the social media handle @chenchiasin.
