Before I came to live and train at Daihonzan Chozen-ji, a Rinzai Zen temple and martial arts dojo in Honolulu, I was a human rights and social change activist designing and leading movements to champion human rights and democracy in Burma, eliminate nuclear weapons worldwide, expand economic opportunity through the sharing/gig economy, and more. In 2016, I graduated from the Stanford University Graduate School of Business with a Masters in the Science of Management (MSM).

In 2024, I published Three Years on the Great Mountain: A Memoir of Zen and Fearlessness about my first three years living and training at a Zen temple and martial arts dojo in Hawaiʻi.
