Hello there  👋
Good Morning!
Did you know that original bowling balls back in 1905 were made of wood? We have a Rangr Highlight today who played bowling throughout his life and talks about chasing his Moby Dick: the perfect game.
Rangr Highlight 🙌
Not only at a company level but a life level. When you’re a Korean American, its very difficult to find your identity, right. You’re either a korean in the US ,but when you go to Korea you are an American.
Introducing Andrew Kim! A Korean American New York native with a flair for solar energy, he is a project manager at Pure Power Engineering; a nationwide solar engineering firm specializing in commercial and utility-scale solar PV systems.
He is an alumnus of Georgia Tech graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering but took a quick pivot into the evolving world of renewable energy. To recap, he started his journey in New Jersey/ New York where he developed his identity as a Korean American with a growing love for all things New York and the STEM field. He got into Georgia Tech where he quickly realized that Chemical Engineering was very different than what he originally understood was the profession and explored other topics such as Finance and Korean before graduating. When he graduated, he explored his creative side and started filming music videos, acting for commercials, and even voiced snowboarding video games. As he was pursuing his creative passions, he discovered that he wanted to pursue solar engineering at LG which led him to his current destination at Pure Power Engineering.
We dived deep into how he decided what he wanted for his own future as well as solving personal challenges by experimenting with other life options.

3 Lessons and a Tip by Andrew Kim
There’s always a way
Get very comfortable with not knowing or understanding something because that’s where we start. Sooner or later it’s gonna come around.
Believe in yourself
Whenever we see something amazing or an accomplished person, it’s going to be easy to get dejected and look towards your imperfections and lack of experience. You need to train yourself to say you can do this before it happens
You are where you are right now for a reason. It might not be where you want to be in life, but the important part is to discover the positive experiences from your current perspective.
Tip - Bowling your 300
I’m a really competive guy, and you guys have no idea how competitive bowling could be… 80 percent of bowling is mental ,and that’s probably why I never got my 300 score yet. I have gotten to 298, but when you see the 11th and 12th strike your hand starts shaking. Once you unlock that 300 game , it gets way easier to repeat it.
