I was born and raised in New York City on the borders of Chinatown, Little Italy, Soho and Tribeca. I now live just south of Boston in an old converted refrigerator box where I scavenge wild berries from my neighbors' yards.

During the day, I am the creative director at the ground breaking post-alternative newsweekly Boston's Weeky Dig. Ground breaking in that the Dig is a hybrid of the traditional alternative newsweekly that our hippie forefathers started and new school magazine publishing blending award winning design and cutting edge content. I'm also the creative director for BeerAdvocate Magazine, the print supplement to the world's largest online beer community.

Secret Asian Man is a daily comic strip that is syndicated through United Media. The comic strip is an often brutally honest commentary on the state of race relations in America. If you happen to be an editor or art director at a paper that could use a daily touch from the Golden Child, drop me a line.

Tak spends the rest of his time with his loving family.
