David Pham

David "Dragon" Pham came to the U.S. at 17 years old, one of 145 people on a boat fleeing Vietnam for a better life. Now one of the most successful players to date, it would appear he achieved what he was seeking.

Pham is the cousin and mentee of Men "The Master" Nguyen, whom he worked for in a cleaning business that Nguyen owned.

Not one to forget his roots, Pham frequently donates to charities in Vietnam. He currently lives in Bell Gardens, CA.
