Hi, I’m the internet’s Tony Ho Tran.

I’m a writer, editor, and one-time jetpack pilot.

Journalism is about fearless curiosity. That’s why I’ve flown experimental aircraft, embedded with guerrilla bike activists, and crawled through graveyards—all in pursuit of a good story.

When I’m not dodging disaster for a byline, I’m writing a memoir about family, secrets, and a decades-long hunt for my grandfather’s identity.

Let’s chat.

If you’re interested in working with me on a story or project—or just want to chat about books, dive bars, and the sweet taste of Malört—fill the form below and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
