CURRENT MISSION

Teaching Art in Saigon & Brewing Beer

ABOUT ME

I like to teach art and I used to teach tennis. I started teaching Art at an international school in Saigon 4 yrs ago. Ive been home brewing for a few years and started a microbrewery here in Saigon a couple years ago, brewing mostly IPAs. I like to travel off the beaten track to meet interesting people and find new interesting places. As I travel more and more it seems the list of places I want to visit grows even faster. Its been great meeting so many amazing people, I hope I can do it forever.

PHILOSOPHY

it is better to be traveling than to not be traveling.

Teach, Learn, Share
