Biography

Gus left Saigon, Vietnam, as a toddler at the end of the Vietnam War. He was born to parents of Vietnamese and Chinese origin. He was raised, educated, and worked in Sydney, Australia, his entire life. He graduated with a bachelor's degree in Information Technology (IT) and spent the majority of his career as an IT Professional, working for some of Australia's largest public, private, and government organizations, such as Qantas, ABC, QBE, and CSL. His expertise was in Cybersecurity, where he was responsible for designing and implementing security initiatives, managing intellectual property transfers, and leading teams across various regions in Asia Pacific. Recently, Gus shifted his focus to investment management to free up more time for his personal interests and hobbies. Inspired by the vision and commitment of founder Ms. Thao Chi and the ABVN foundation teachers, the ABVN platform connects and enriches both students and teachers with a shared goal of learning. ABVN students are curious and determined learners. Although students may not realize it, "I benefited more from learning about them than they do from me." His only English teaching experience is through A Better Vietnam, where he strives to be a motivator, educator, and advisor for students. He finds the greatest fulfillment in their success, believing that their achievements reflect his own. If his students are inspired and manage to enhance their English skills through his lessons, he feels truly satisfied. Gus enjoys keeping active, especially through sports and maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle. His hobbies span a wide range, including animals, cars, motorbikes, construction, economics, fitness, food, gardening, hiking, investments, movies, music, science, sports, streaming, technology, travel, and volunteering. He is interested in almost anything, as long as it allows him to learn something new. He is married, has three kids, and resides in Sydney, Australia.
