Fun Fact: Kim recently started focusing on life balance by making cycling his main activity. He finds peace and clarity in cycling, similar to how others find it in golf. While riding on the W&OD and Custis trails, he thinks about and solves problems. These rides alone are important for his thinking and new ideas. In the DMV area, he’s part of a community of industry leaders who also enjoy cycling. Kim cycles with a group of influential people, which allows him to see different viewpoints and enjoy their company. “This activity, while a personal passion, also contributes significantly to my professional effectiveness,” he said.
