Biography of Dr. Tae Yun Kim

The life story of Chairman and CEO, Dr. Tae Yun Kim is truly inspirational. Born into a culture that has had deep prejudices against women for thousands of years, Dr. Kim broke through the traditional barriers against women and has achieved incredible success throughout her life.

Abused by her family and abandoned during the Korean War because she was born a girl on the Lunar New Year, she nevertheless overcame seemingly insurmountable obstacles to follow her dreams. She broke five thousand years of tradition to become the first female to ever study the martial art of Tae Kwon Do and to eventually attain the rank of Grandmaster, the highest level in the martial arts.

In 1978, Dr. Kim was the head coach for the first US Women’s division at the Pre-World Games in Seoul, Korea where they won gold, silver and bronze medals. This US Woman’s Taekwondo team was the first competitive women’s team in Taekwondo and was a precursor to opening up Taekwondo for women at the Olympics. Using martial arts techniques in focusing, directing energy and meditation, Dr. Kim also coached the US Windsurfing team and the Japanese, Norwegian and New Zealand ski teams and demonstrated to each team the power of believing in themselves.

In addition to achieving success as a martial arts Master, Dr. Kim has carved a name for herself in the high tech industry. Her international corporation, Lighthouse Worldwide Solutions, which she built herself from the ground up, is the industry leader for Environmental Monitoring and Contamination Control. Dr. Kim’s mission for her company is to always help people improve the quality of their lives.
