David Lin

Executive Vice Chairman

Prior to WFG, he was a restaurant manager for his family’s restaurant franchise business. David spent part of his childhood in China before immigrating to the United States. He watched his parents sacrifice their comfortable careers in China in order to provide better opportunities for their children in the US.

Over the decade, David has not only achieved financial literacy, but he has educated and inspired thousands of others with his expertise in wealth management. Staying committed to his initial goal, David has helped retiring his parents and helped his sister Amy's college Tuition to USC.
