Early Life and Education
Eddie Huang was born on March 1, 1982, in Washington, D.C., to Taiwanese immigrant parents. He spent his early childhood in Washington’s Chinatown before the family relocated to Orlando, Florida.

After completing law school, Huang began his professional career at Chadbourne & Parke, a prominent law firm in New York City. He started as a summer associate and secured a full-time position in the firm’s corporate law department in 2008.
