Melvin is an entrepreneur, visionary and risk-taker. Melvin has more than 10 years of experience in computer hardware, web development and online advertising. Over the years, Melvin has involved himself in a wide range of businesses but his passion always remained solely in the Computers and Technology sector. The most important lesson he learned in business and life is – If you put your heart and soul as well as your time, effort and love in doing something, nothing is impossible to you.
One of his most notable achievements is developing a very successful online publication for computer hardware news and reviews despite having no prior working experience and driven only with a strong passion for computers in his teenage years. Now Melvin is focusing most of his time in his automotive business dealing with new and reconditioned imported cars.
Melvin was diagnosed from a rare type of malignant tumor known as fibrosarcoma, a soft tissue cancer that necessitated a limb amputation when he was 17. He had a hip disarticulation on his right leg shortly after the biopsies confirmed his diagnosis. Related articles at:

The crisis made Melvin look at life from a different perspective. He stopped his online publication and spent the next few years giving back to the community, particularly at Rumah Hope, a home for the neglected and abused children. He found Christ or Christ found him, literally. He is still on a soul-searching life journey. He vowed to never let his disability get in the way of his life.
Today… Melvin is on Facebook and Twitter.
