Asian Agent
Starting 2024
SummaryMy international business practice connects technology, manufacturing, sales, and market development across China and the Philippines, including sourcing, market expansion, and investment in an island-based ISP.
I have been traveling to China for more than a decade and have worked extensively with engineers, hackers, makers, manufacturers, and technology companies there.
My work has spanned manufacturing, sales, business development, and market expansion. I currently work with DIY-BOT to help the company expand into the US market, and I am building several businesses around my experience working between China and international markets, including Source Asia Now, Sino Sales Copy, and Cool Crap From China.
Previously, I was the US Evangelist for 4DClass, promoting its Jack Bricks educational tool and helping introduce its approach to project-based and maker education to the US market. I also worked as European Sales Director for Turnlife Batteries, a Chinese battery company providing batteries and energy solutions for homes and e-bikes.
More recently, I have expanded this work into the Philippines, where I am exploring opportunities to sell locally made handicrafts and have become an angel investor in an internet service provider on Kinatarkan Island.
Across these roles, I have worked at the intersection of technology, manufacturing, sales, and international market development. I am now developing this experience into a broader role as an Asian Agent, helping people navigate manufacturing, sourcing, and doing business across Asia.
