Mr. Huang has established himself as a prominent figure in international business, particularly in the import and export sector. He serves as president of Calway Foods Inc., a business he founded in 2008 after discovering and falling in love with pecans, which were unavailable in his home country of China.

Moreover, Mr. Huang’s commitment to mentorship has enabled many young professionals to excel in their careers, reflecting his belief in the power of education and guidance.

In his personal life, Mr. Huang enjoys traveling, playing golf, and working out. Looking ahead, he is focused on expanding Calway Foods Inc.’s operations by establishing a processing facility within the United States.

Through this endeavor, Mr. Huang seeks to further cement his company’s standing on the global stage while contributing positively to international trade relations.
