After graduating high school, he started his career working as a machine operator supporting many different manufacturers including DST. In late 2009, he went into surgery and shortly after started working again for Sika until end of 2010 but because of his health taking a toll on his body, he resigned putting his health as the primary focus. He spent many nights in the hospital and continued to fight his health issues.
Chong Kao and his wife were active members of the church and enjoyed serving the church community. They gladly lend their hands to help and support with whatever was needed.
Chong Kao is a man who is well spoken, full of energy, a great chef, and loved his family, friends, and community. Above all, he loved his wife very much. After spending thirty-six years together, Diana passed away in 2018 leaving him and his children. After his wife’s passing, Chong Kao became both father and mother figure to his children and all those around him.
