My name is Jonson and I am an Asian-American of Lao heritage and was born in Nebraska, the Cornhusker State. Following the end of the Vietnam War, my soon-to-be parents emigrated from Laos to Nebraska to begin a new life. Nebraska became a new home for many Lao immigrants, which is where my mom and dad met, married, and started their new family lives together. I was very fortunate to graduate high school, serve in the military, complete my bachelor’s degree, continue public service, teach ESL as a volunteer, and launch a new American-based TEFL company to help jumpstart anyone’s career to teach TEFL overseas.
