Since an early age, Louis has been fascinated with and immersed by acupuncture or medical books all around the home as both of Louis’s parents are acupuncturists, his father, Dr. Guanyuan Jin, an accomplished medical acupuncturist(over 50 yrs of clinical experience) founded one of the earliest acupuncture clinics in Milwaukee (76th St at North Ave of Wauwatosa) in 1989s. Aimed to carry forward the family tradition and follow the lineage of a Chinese physician family, Louis spent winter and summer breaks to help out the senior Dr. Jin and help interact with patients and their relatives at the clinic.

After earning Bachelor and Master degrees in Computer Science & Software Engineering respectively, Louis decided to continue studies and began formally apprentice under his father, it was during this time he met many local acupuncturist (many are still active) who either sought out Dr. Jin for advice while setting into their new clinics or began as patients of Dr. Jin and were inspired by him to go to school and later become acupuncturists themselves. Many of them also become good friends with Louis as he was the main liaison front-desk person, even include a few past presidents of WISCA.

Also, many professional athletes such as US professional speed skater Mathew Lints, former MLB player Prince Fielder, current NBA player Luc Richard Mbah a Mout e- all came to Louis to be seen to either speed up their rehabilitation of injuries or to avoid surgeries.
