Hey, I’m 은상.

But feel free to call me Mike.

I’m a Korean-American writer seeking a tribe of wild creatives to produce fun, powerful, and effective work.

I’ve performed Beethoven trios as a concert pianist, demolished an upright piano with a sledgehammer at midnight, surfed giants off the California coast, taught Humanities at one of the most innovative schools in the world, and trekked the legendary Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.

I specialize in connecting unlikely dots to form big ideas that solve problems. I believe hard work is talent. And Stephen King said it best in On Writing when he wrote, “to write is human, to edit is divine.”

But what excites me most is doing well in life for the friends and fam, setting a good example for my nieces, representing my community to the best of my ability, forever learning as a student of the game, and being a light for others.
