Bring us up to date on your life after the peace corps:

After Peace Corps I returned to the US for a masters in Journalism from Columbia U, then spent 15 years as a journalist with UPI in Asia. I left UPI in 1991, worked for three years as a business consultant based in Singapore, then joined the Kenan-Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. I returned to Thailand in 1994 to work on a development project for the University and helped found the Kenan Institute Asia in 1996. I continue to work for the Institute -- now Acting President and Executive Director.
