My formal education includes a bachelor's degree in political science and a Juris Doctor degree. My first experience teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) was as a Peace Corps Volunteer (https://www.peacecorps.gov/) on Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands. I learned the need for clear articulation and pronunciation of the English language during my 38-year career as a lawyer, where I tried hundreds of cases before juries and taught continuing education courses to lawyers and other professionals throughout the USA and Canada. I have been active in sports my entire life, first as a competitor and later as a coach. As a young man, I taught swimming and coached competitive swim teams, and for 23 years, until the start of the pandemic, I was a volunteer youth soccer coach.

Volunteering for ABVN since December 2017, as of March 2022, I have seen 340 Vietnamese learners, ranging in age from 11 to 69-years. Some I saw only once, others I have met more than 150 times online. During a visit to Viet Nam in 2019, I had the privilege of meeting many students in person and visiting some of their families. My "official" contribution to ABVN is helping students build confidence by improving their English pronunciation, but there is so much more. As we meet week after week and share the "ups and downs" of our lives, students and teachers develop friendships, gain a deeper understanding of our respective cultures, and share our multi-generational experiences. It is worthwhile and fun! For prospective students and teachers, if you are ready to try something new, give ABVN a try, it could change your life.

Speaking/reading fluency, listening, and pronunciation.
