On last night’s Undercover Boss, BrightStar co-founder JD Sun made an appearance along with his wife Shelly Sun, co-founder and CEO of the company. The couple goes undercover to make sure the company they built is living up to the standards they expect. Having been deeply involved in the business side the pair roll up their sleeves and see what it’s like to work face to face with the many people they provide care for. JD also gains a better understanding of how their decisions affect the company on a daily basis and what changes can be made in order to improve. There’s a special place in their heart for the business of private personal health care. A search for care for a relative led the husband and wife team to create this hundred-million dollar company.
JD Sun shadows caregiver George:
He gets a firsthand look at what it means to give personal care to the clients in one of their facilities. JD Sun goes undercover to find out things aren’t all fun and games when it comes to calling the game of bingo. Can he pull things together or will they pull his number and send him on his way?

More about JD Sun
The creation of BrightStar stems from JD and Shelly’s journey with their late Grandma. They were surprised how difficult it was to find quality healthcare professionals to help her. After Grandma passed, they reflected on their experience and realized that there were other families who were facing the same situation. Forever grateful for the help their caregivers provided during their time of need, they made a promise in 2002 that other families would receive the attention, care, and service that they needed and deserved.
Prior to BrightStar, JD was a trader at the CBOE for nearly a decade. He is a graduate of Knox College and received his MBA from Loyola University. They are the proud parents of twin sons!
