Billy Van Ho

My name is Billy Van Ho. I am the youngest of 5 siblings, I have 2 brothers and two sisters. I was born in Cambodia’s concentration camp in 1976 during the Communist Khmer regime. While in the concentration camp my father was killed due to his race and social standing. That is when my mother knew she had to get her family out and in 1976 (two weeks after my birth) my family and I escaped the concentration camp and fled to Thailand. In 1980 my family and I found refuge in California. Our journey to California was not an easy one, but my mother was very strong and knew she wanted a better life for her children.

I grew up in urban Los Angeles, CA (Echo Park Area) which had a great concentration of Cambodian Refugees. As our family started to succeed , we moved eastward toward the San Gabriel Valley, where we were able to finally purchase our first home in Rosemead, in 1997. I graduated from San Gabriel High School. I have spent most if not all of my young adulthood in Rosemead, until 2005, when I moved to Hacienda Heights. Growing up without my father was not easy and seeing my mom struggle as a single parent taught me to be tenacious and have grit. After I graduated high school, I attended college and worked at 2 jobs (proof operator at a bank & Telemarketer for an insurance agency). After 4yrs of juggling with school, the bank, and insurance, I found out that I have a niche in building relationships and helping customers. That is when I decided to focus on getting my insurance license and setting my career in the insurance industry. This was the greatest decision I have ever made, because I met the love of my life, Lisa, while working as an insurance agent (Yes, she was a prospect!). We’ve been together for over fifteen years and we have 3 beautiful children together.

The reason I became a State Farm Agent is because I love to educate customers on insurance and make sure that their most prize possessions are protected. My bi-lingual team and I pride ourselves in providing excellent customer service while always putting our customer needs first.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, my kid’s sports activities, traveling, cooking and cars. I’m a big supporter of our local professional teams in this order: Lakers, Dodgers and Rams.
