Delaware County is represented on Forbes 2022 30 under 30 list this year, thanks to John Lim, a Swarthmore College graduate who went on to create party-oriented card games geared toward Asian-Americans, writes Ryan Mulligan for Philadelphia Business Journal.

There were 19 honorees from the region on this year’s list.

The Forbes list divided 600 people into groups of 30 across 20 different categories nationwide.

Local honorees succeeded in a variety of fields, from athletics to technology to financial experts.
