Danny with his wife Marie and sons Jordan and Darrell at a Fort Bend Picinic.
To Danny, what constitutes ultimate happiness is having a balanced life in the areas of GOD, HEALTH, FAMILY, BUSINESS, & COMMUNITY.
Danny wants to focus his attention on the city he calls home. “As a resident, I feel desire to serve. As a business owner, I know my experience will add to the city’s growth. I am determined to be a great asset to Missouri City. I would not have invested in this city if I did not have faith in the city’s potential. This is where my wife and I have chosen to raise our children. We would not set roots where we did not plan to stay. The quality of life here is rich and genuine. There is an abundance of amenities and resources untapped even by local residents who are unaware of what the city has to offer. People who know me, know I am action-oriented and what better city for me to live and do business in, other than the Show-Me” City.
Leading by example is an integral part of Danny Nguyen’s life. Understanding the importance of education, Danny attended school in Fort Bend ISD. Upon graduation he attended Texas A&M University, where he earned his B.B.A. in International Business and Marketing
Danny is a strong promoter for the freedom of enterprise and he especially appreciates this particular freedom among many other freedoms in the United States. Having realized his entrepreneurial dream, he wants to help as many people as he can to accomplish the same dream. This is why he formed the Vietnamese American Houston Chamber of Commerce, and serves as its President. As President he is instrumental in promoting business development not only between the local Vietnamese and mainstream communities, but at the international level as well.
