Tommy Lim

Tommy would be the first to tell you that Cameron House changed his life. He was introduced to Cameron House his junior year of high school. The time he spent as a 3rd-grade day camp leader at the age of 18 was a powerful experience. From that role, he eventually became a Friday Night Club leader for the Apostles. He is most proud of the fact that many of the original members of that club group grew up to hold key leadership roles at Cameron House and the Presbyterian Church in Chinatown. Tommy is married with two adult children. He was an optometrist that opened his own practice in 1981 and retired in 2020. Even though he has lived in San Jose since 1977, San Francisco has always been special to him, especially Chinatown. He has served on the board of the Chinatown Community Development Center and currently worships at the First Chinese Baptist Church, having served on their Deacons Board. Now on the Cameron House Board, he looks forward to serving the organization that has most impacted his life.
