Glenn Chin looks like a modern day mythical Chinese warrior. He has a long salt and pepper beard, shaved head, and visible tattoos. He is accomplished in the field of branding and creative development, where he has held the titles of Global Brand Director of Nike Basketball, VP of Global Brand Management for EA Sports, and has started his own E-Sports company called Most Prolific. His consultancy focuses on gaming, sports, and tech.

A lesson that was passed down to him through his parents is the importance of connecting to one’s own history. At an early age he was told, “You’re only going to get taught what other people want to teach you.” Pride in family and connection to ancestry is not something you will be taught in school; it is something you have to learn for yourself and pass down to the next generation.

One of twenty (20) ink portraits from Four Oceans, One Family with essays achieved after interviews, photo studies and gift exchanges.
