Gorden Cheng is a classical concert pianist and founder of KMGB Capital, living in San Diego, California. Taking private lessons only, he is a top prize winner of many amateur piano competitions from Paris, Warsaw, Boston, Chicago, Washington DC, and Colorado Springs. His mentors include Yifan Liu, Dr. Robert Xavier Rodriguez, Rinna Livshin, Katherin Dvoskin, and Vitali Margulis.

Born in Chongqing, China, Cheng immigrated with his family to the US in 1986 and started piano at age 8.

Initially settling in New York and Pennsylvania, the Cheng family moved to Dallas for 8 years and finally San Diego in 2003. He holds a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Dallas and an MBA from Western Governors University as well as many cybersecurity certifications: CISSP, ISSAP, CSSLP, CCSP, CISM, CISA, and CRISC. In 2023, almost 20 years later after graduating from UT Dallas, he received a Distinguished Alumni Award from his alma mater for his achievements in his career and music.

After a 21 year career in IT and Information Security, Cheng founded KMGB Capital, a digital asset management firm built on self-custody, decentralization, and transparency. KMGB empowers

organizations and investors to manage on-chain assets securely while maintaining full ownership of their keys. KMGB’s platform combines institutional-grade risk management with open, verifiable infrastructure—delivering sovereign control and transparent finance.

In his spare time, he enjoys playing concerts, hacking hardware & software, drinking boba with his wife, Judy, and playing Counter-Strike and Starcraft with his two sons Alex and Jamie.
