            Mr. Scott Liao is an American and Chinese/Taiwanese citizen.  He and his wife (Hsui-Lan Lin Liao) are founders of Hydra International Co., Ltd., a petrochemical engineering firm founded in 1978, providing engineering services for oil refineries throughout the Pacific Rim.  Upon graduation from Taiwan’s Air Force Academy, he served as an airman for the Taiwan Air Force and flew multiple combat and support missions with and for the United States Air Force during the Vietnam War (during the period before 1979 when the Government of the Republic of China (Taiwan) was recognized by the United States as the official government of all China).

As a “family man” and “educator,” Mr. Liao became the driving force behind successfully raising two children abroad, particularly in the United States, enabling his son (Shawn Liao) to pursuit studies at Columbia University, Oxford University, and Harvard University; as well as, his daughter (May Liao) to complete her education at the University of Washington.  Both now has built family of each own and two children each respectively.

Mr. Liao is a lover of classical music, and one of his lifelong passions is singing and all matters relating to performing arts (e.g. he is chorus member of the Taipei Symphony Orchestra for over 30 years).  He, together with his childhood sweetheart and wife of over 60 plus years, is also a key benefactor and volunteer to Taiwan’s performing arts as well as to the Dharma Drum Mountain (a spiritual, cultural, and educational foundation that has presence and influence worldwide), contributing in various aspects of planning, implementation, and fundraising.  His contribution include directorship of DDM Fellowship of Honorary Directors, promoting the core values of Buddhism through Chan Meditation or “compassion and kindness through empathy for others.”

Mr. Scott Liao’s honor and legacy is continued by son (Shawn Liao) & daughter-in-law (Ada Zhang), and daughter (May Liao) & son-in-law (Josh Close) as well as four grandchildren (Eli Close, Teo Close, Scottlyn Liao, Skylyn Liao).

廖文衡先生是美國和中華公民。 他與妻子廖林秀蘭是雍原有限公司的創始人，該公司成立於 1978 年，是一家石化工程公司，提供化學工程服務給太平洋沿岸地區的煉油廠。 從空軍學院畢業後，他擔任空軍飛行員，並在越南戰爭期間與美國空軍一起執行了多次戰鬥和支援任務。 

當為一位以家庭為重的父親，廖先生對子女的教育非常重視。子女自小就送到美國，使他的兒子廖士翔能夠在哥倫比亞大學、牛津大學和哈佛大學追求學業，同時女兒廖梅吟在華盛頓大學完成學業。現子女各自成家、各育有兩位子女。

廖先生是古典音樂的愛好者，他畢生的愛好之一是聲樂和藝文活動（例如他是臺北市立交響樂團-TSO合唱團30年以上的創始團員）。 他與青梅竹馬、相伴60多年的妻子，一起支持台灣藝術文化活動、也是法鼓山的支持者。他的貢獻包括法鼓山榮譽董社會會員，大力接引菩薩學佛護持法鼓山。

廖文衡先生的榮譽和聲望將由兒子廖士翔、兒媳張朵兒、女兒廖梅吟、女婿關嘉旭、以及四位孫子女（廖宴生、廖育生、廖翌辰、廖翌伶）來繼承。
