Meet Jeff Kee
Apart from the obvious fact that I am a young Asian male as you can see in the photo on the left, I grew up in South Korea for the most part of my life, with a 2 year layover in Missouri, USA between the ages of 6 and 8, and then I moved to Canada to complete high-school.
After toiling in an office environment of some sort in a large corporate of some sort, I refused to carry on that way, and started my own business in freelance design & marketing. That business has now grown to have 3 employees, and was running under Synchronous Design & Marketing. Now we have re-branded to Sonika Studios Inc. My business is my passion and my dedication, and I’ve been putting a lot of time and money into this venture to make it successful.
I love sushi, and I love to dance. In fact, I’m an avid follower of salsa dancing, and you can meet me on Tuesday nights at the Atlantis Nighclub in Downtown Vancouver. You can also find me taking lessons from the world salsa champion Alfonso Caldera, with the Bravo Dance Company. The Roundhouse Community Centre is where I play indoor soccer twice a week, and Stanley Park is my favorite bike route.
As much as I love growing my business and expanding, I also like to keep a good balance in life, and keep healthy. I am also keen to help the environment. I do what I can do help – recycling, using fabric shopping bags instead of going through plastic ones all the time, driving less when I can help it, and I support the Liberal Party of Canada.

I just want to say that I read that story on homelessness in Vancouver and one part hit me. You mention over and over again that you are so against the homeless and that you want them out of your field of vision… yet later down the line of heated comments you say that the money going to addiction related problems could be used to feed many starving African children. Could you explain why you are OK with one and not with the other? There are many homeless people that live paycheck to paycheck and once one doesn’t come they are out on the streets. Once on the streets, it takes about 5 months worth of rent to get going again (first + last month’s rent, security deposit, etc.) so even if the goal was to get back into a cheap apartment asap it’s far more difficult than the obvious. I live in L.A. and I’m friends with a homeless couple on Venice Beach who are in this situation. I see their situation to be somewhat of a catch-22, just like the hungry African children who have little to no means of income and feel helpless.
You and I have very different point of views but I am curious as to your take on this. You say you are very knowledgeable but to be on the top you must hold qualities of both sides. Being open allows you to prove a stronger point than sticking to one side… you may know this already but you haven’t mentioned it yet so I thought I would ask.
Thanks, Charlie
