After completing a yearlong language program at Xiamen University in China, he returned to Asia as a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant Grantee to Taitung, Taiwan. He then went on to complete his Masters of Education in Bilingual Education at the University of Minnesota, and currently works at Clark University as the Academic Specialist in the American Language and Culture Institute.
