New Arcadia Rotary member Glenn Oyoung presented an overview of his personal and professional background. Originally hailing from the Midwest
(Missouri to be precise) he shared pictures that revealed an early love of cars. His other loves include his wife Jennifer who is an Arcadian native and his two young daughters. Glenn’s family settled down in Cerritos after their move to the Golden State. He is a graduate of Whitney High School and a “double-Bruin” who earned his undergraduate degree in International Economics and his MBA in Marketing & Entrepreneurial Studies at UCLA (Go
Bruins!).

On the professional front, Glenn is a former management consultant at Arthur Andersen Business Consulting who later decided to pursue his goal of owning his own business. His company Turn3 Creative focuses on the creation of licensed merchandise for clients including automotive companies and consumer brands such as BMW and Gulf amongst others. Glenn also provides marketing services including brand management, product development, and public relations on a consulting basis to clients in the Southland including Toyota.

His most recent local project is the launch of an idea to highlight local businesses and promote shopping in Arcadia, Visit Arcadia – a mobile app available in the iTunes and Google Play stores as well as a website VisitArcadiaCalifornia.com. That tool launches this week right in time for the Breeder’s Cup festivities.

In a slide representative of his light-hearted presentation, Glenn cited his last job – Mike Hoey’s stunt double for “when things get dangerous for Mike at Arcadia Rotary.”
