ABOUT ME

I was born in India (Mumbai) from Chinese Indonesian parents, I grew up in the Middle East (Kuwait, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi) and in Indonesia (Jakarta). After living in Indonesia for 10 years, I spent the next 18 in the USA. Here, I did some more growing up in Texas (Austin), Connecticut, and Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh), where I met my wife and is where I live now.

I enjoy watching Texas Longhorn football (hook 'em!), bicycling, salsa dancing, and playing Settlers of Catan.
