and absorbed while at work to purchase the home for my parents to ultimately retire in. Since I started working at Wells Fargo, I’ve been able to advance my career from starting at the retail level, on the front line with the tellers, and working with every customer that walked into the branch and was able to advance through career milestones and be able to work in a very niche department of the bank.

I’m a first-born generation in the United States.

So being able to give back to my parents after their hard journey to come to the United States to give their children a better life was the ultimate gift that I can repay my parents with. I’m Ray Akbari, and I’m living the Well Life.
