The adventure began when Ha Ngo Trang was born on July 21, 1957 to Van Ngoc Trang and Chan Thi Phan in Saigon, Vietnam where Ha and her siblings grew up. As a girl she loved exploring the outdoors and reading about science-related books, both hobbies she never grew out of. In her youth, she had many hardships that she had faced in Vietnam.

A few years after graduating from a high school in Vietnam, Ha moved to San Diego where she attended San Diego State University studying Electrical Engineering. She was later married to Ha Ngo and they moved to Salt Lake City, UT where she started her career. A talented leader and hard worker, she met countless wonderful people throughout her career that would become a second family to her. In her young adult life, when Ha wasn’t working, she was always looking for something to do whether it was helping out her family or donating her time and necessities to families in need. Among her favorite things to do were gardening, sewing, piano, traveling, and other fun adventures.
