A UC Berkeley computer science graduate, Nelson Ng worked over three decades in Silicon Valley to build global software for users worldwide. In 1996 he moved to Palo Alto with his wife Kimberley Wong, whose deep family roots—her grandfather cofounded Palo Alto’s first licensed Chinese restaurant—inspired Nelson’s quest to learn about the rich, diverse history of the city. Witnessing recent changes, he engaged in community affairs to preserve the city’s quality of life. For the past five years, Nelson has taught Tai Chi every Sunday morning at Rinconada Library.
“I envision PAM as a center of innovation to enable our community and people across the globe to experience how Palo Alto continues to change the world.”
