He is originally from New York and earned a BA from Columbia University, as well as additional degrees in Communications and Business Administration. Several years later he relocated to Beijing, China to reinvent himself and pursue new opportunities for business. There he created a successful education consulting business for a local training center to assist Chinese students to study abroad. In addition to managing, he produced staff training programs, presented at various industry events, and taught his own writing and communications skills courses.

Today, he oversees Shanghai EDGE Consulting, an online education services company where he teaches English, Business, and Writing, and is a consultant to international students. And after more than 10 years or planning, writing, researching, rewriting, revising, pausing for unexpectedly long periods of time, and finally renewing his production process, he is proud to finally enter the realm of the “authorpreneur” with his new book, Escape from America.

With his inaugural, and perhaps only formal authorial work, he sought to pour several years of experience, insight, and lessons-learned into the pages of EFA, which he cites as a “complex and sometimes combustible blend of critical and creative thinking” designed to shift people’s perceptions of the world around them and challenge their belief systems for the better. In the future, he hopes to use his book as a platform to develop additional methods for making a positive impact on society and inspiring others to improve their lives and pursue their passions.
