How did he end up in Malaysia? He was born and raised in Florida, studied the viola, which brought him into contact with a Balinese gamelan, which resulted in a summer trip to study in Indonesia, which was followed by postgraduate studies in Australia, work with a television studio and publisher in Miami, then research in Malaysia. Over a decade later, he is still being tolerated in Kuala Lumpur. And still writing.
