What I’m Doing Now

Inspired by the now page movement. last updated March 11, 2025 from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam


My father passed away on Leap Day last year. Today would have been his 76th birthday.

Readers have told me that my writing has taken a heavier tone. The past year has been about reorienting my life without my father. My solopreneur lifestyle allowed me to spend a lot of time with my parents last year – and for that I am so grateful!

I am still running Touch MBA, a podcast and website that helps MBA applicants find best-fit MBA programs worldwide.

I love podcasting and writing here but want to make sure people find the content useful. I stopped posting regularly because I didn’t see much traction. So, I’ll be testing different content and mediums this year. I’m also exploring other industries and roles (outside education) where I can contribute.

In my spare time, I’m still teaching and learning Cuban-style salsa in Ho Chi Minh City, hosting board game nights (Castles of Burgundy, 7 Wonders & Spirit Island are my favorites right now), and reading a ton (mostly fiction and short stories).

Feel free to drop a line and say hello!
