From a childhood in Taiwan to a thriving life in the heart of America, Benny Lee’s story is a remarkable testament to resilience, entrepreneurship, and the power of giving back. In A Taiwanese Immigrant’s Journey to Kansas City, Benny shares the path that took him from an electrical engineering graduate to a celebrated business leader, philanthropist, and musician in his adopted home of Kansas City.

Driven by curiosity and courage, Benny left behind a successful career in Taiwan to pursue new opportunities in the U.S. What followed was a journey filled with reinvention, risk-taking, and deep personal growth. Whether launching companies, performing on his clarinet, or serving on nonprofit boards, Benny approaches life with passion and purpose. His journey highlights:

  • How change, challenge, and chance shaped his path
  • The mindset behind entrepreneurial success
  • The importance of philanthropy and civic service
  • His inspiring late-in-life journey into music performance
  • The pursuit of meaning through family, faith, and community

‍

Uplifting, wise, and deeply personal, A Taiwanese Immigrant’s Journey to Kansas City is a shining example of how a single story can resonate far beyond its pages and even become a bestseller.
