He, with his wife, Lan, arrived in Australia in 1977 and settled in Adelaide and he studied at the University of Adelaide, where he earned a degree in Economics and Accounting and a Master of Business Administration (MBA). He gained Certified Practising Accountant accreditation, and from 1991 worked at the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, where he led many high-profile matters.
In August 2007, he was sworn in as the Lieutenant Governor of South Australia. Over the next seven years in this role, he served as the Patron or Honorary member of many organisations and on the 1st September 2014, was sworn in as Governor of South Australia. It is understood that His Excellency is the first Vietnamese-born person who has ever been appointed to a Vice-Regal position in the world. He is patron of more than 200 organisations.

In his address to the gathering, His Excellency commenced by reiterating the origins of Rotary by Paul Harris in 1905 and how the organisation had expanded since then. He noted that the world is a completely different place than it was in 1905 and the recent spread of the Covid-19 virus had really changed the world.
He is an honorary member of two Rotary clubs and he outlined some of the significant projects and achievements by Rotarians.
He noted that attracting new members is an ongoing issue for Rotary Clubs.
His Excellency emphasised that we need to determine whether our club membership and Rotary projects truly reflect the cultural diversity of our society.
