Marcel Wah
I am an artist and entrepreneur, currently residing in Cupertino, USA. My current activities are focused solely on growing my business enterprises.
For those of you who do not know me well, I was born into a well-known family of Haitian-Chinese artists in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. I began to paint at an early age; however, my professional art career did not begin until 1994, after eight years of honorably serving in the United States Air Force.
After my discharge, I attended art schools in California. I hold both a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Fine Arts from the San Francisco Art Institute and the California College of the Arts, respectively.
My art making and involvement in art are taking "a leave of absence" until some time in the future when I am able to make a larger impact on creating a Caribbean art market. For now, my time is strictly committed to my ventures.
An environmentally conscious transportation provider.
Web design and development services using our TimlXEngine platform.
A social network platform for the art world — under development.
Ecological charcoal for a greener, cleaner Haiti.
Organizing Haitian Diaspora projects and efforts to rebuild Haiti.
My largest technology venture, still under development.
My entrepreneurial spirit surfaced in 1993 after serving my second tour in Guantanamo Bay (GTMO), Cuba, where I worked closely with Haitian refugees fleeing persecution. That year I was introduced to Anthony Robbins by a fellow Haitian-American Army buddy — reading his book fueled my interests, and my love affair with business started.
As any entrepreneur would attest, it is truly the path less traveled — full of joy, excitement, and successes, as well as its fair share of challenges and losses. Being a creative individual, and because of my family history in business, the business world is the most natural choice for me, which is why I continue to persist.
My vision is to infuse art, technology, and tourism in developing countries as economic development drivers. I have many ideas on how I plan to do this; they will be revealed in due time.
