Ray Hom grew up in Cleveland and his family lives in AsiaTown where he is currently a part-time resident.

Ray is currently an executive with Nexite, a retail technology company, focused on business development activities in the US. Previously, Ray lived in Singapore for over 16 years, focused on similar activities for various US retail technology companies in the APAC region.

During the time he spent living in Asia, he had the opportunity to gain more perspective as an Asian American living in Asia versus living in the US. Upon his return over the past few years, the rise of Anti-Asian Hate really brought to light what he feels is needed for the AANHPI communities across the US. He is hoping that the AsiaTown Landmark project will bring together a cohesive Asian community that will bring a sense of pride to community members, within and across the entire city of Cleveland.

He currently serves on the AsiaTown Advisory Committee, People's Street Project and The Cleveland Observer Board. He remains passionate about DEI initiatives, voting rights and equality for all.

Andrew Ratcliff grew up in Cleveland and bought a house in AsiaTown in 2020. He is a graduate of Hiram College and The Cleveland Institute of Art.
