Tony grew up in Orange, CA as the oldest son of refugees, and have lived the idealized American immigrant story: parents working insane hours, strong focus on education and giving back to your community, and forced piano lessons. In high school, he started getting involved in Vietnamese community engagements and co-co-founded his first organization trying to connect Vietnamese students across Orange County (which utterly failed).
That become the foundation of his repeated serial activities in various communities: being president and pledge sensei of his fraternity at Stanford (Lambda Phi Epsilon) where he also ran into numerous leadership challenges, co-founding another non-profit the Union of North American Vietnamese Student Associations (UNAVSA) where he first successfully laid the foundation for a scalable community-driven organization, creating SEO-Vietnam that is now really scaling up, and then of course, co-founding Everest Education which he claimed to be the most significant leg of his life’s journey professionally thus far.
