AI and Automation

I've spent over a decade in Asia building online businesses and helping people learn languages, including a couple I had to learn myself first.

It started with moving to South Korea and learning Korean the hard way. That turned into 90 Day Korean, which has since helped thousands of people learn the language using practical, 80/20 methods instead of textbook theory.

Since then I've expanded into Japanese, AI and automation, and a community for Porsche enthusiasts across Asia. I'm based in Bangkok these days. When I'm not working, I'm usually lifting at the gym, on a motorbike somewhere in Thailand or Vietnam, at a car meet, or watching the UFC at a sports bar.

I also help businesses migrate off WordPress.

Weight Training

I enjoy lifting heavy weights according to a structured plan. I'm happiest when I have no phone or disturbances and can focus on the workout.

Motorcycles

I often do trips in Thailand and Vietnam. I find the riding time quite meditative.

Cars & Meetups

I used to be into cars, meetups, and events when I lived in the US. I've been getting back into it now that I'm in Thailand.

UFC

I haven't been to an in-person UFC event yet, but I love watching the fights live.

F1

I've been to Suzuka twice in Japan. Really enjoyed watching the Porsche Carrera Cup.
