Description	Albert Chen (Min Yu Chen) was born on December 8, 1942 in Taipei, Taiwan to Ching-Cheng Chen and Lie Sam Lim. Albert's parents were both born in the early 1900s and lived during the Japanese occupation of Taiwan. In the 1960s, Chen attended the National Chengchi University and studied taxation law. Upon graduating, he took a financial and accounting job at Gets Brothers (a San Francisco based company) in Taiwan and worked here for 2 years before being offered a job with the US Navy in Taipei as a civilian accountant. In 1968, Chen came to the US to get his MBA at UC Berkeley, but found he preferred a smaller campus and switched to Portland State College. He also switched from a MBA to a Masters in math. In 1971, Chen enrolled in a PhD program, but left before finishing after being offered a job as an economic researcher in Everett, Washington. At this time, he also married Margaret Chen, who was also a student at Portland State College (they later had two children: Stephanie and Stan Chen). Chen moved to Indiana in 1978 to work out of the Indiana offices and did so until 1983 when he resigned. In 1985, he branched out and started his own business, Telamon-a successful company that specializes in solutions for telecommunication networks, industrial assembly, and business process outsourcing.
