New for 2021 "My Father The Badass" version 1.1

With my latest version of "My Father The Badass", a transformational nonfiction thriller, I am currently looking to collaborate with a literary agent.  This is an inspiring real-life story of a true HERO who risked it all to save his family during the collapse of South Vietnam to communism. The story was also captured in an Oscar-nominated film (see below). If you are a book agent who is interested in working with me, please email: contact@mikinguyen.com

Miki Nguyen Background

Picture
Miki Nguyen was honored by the opportunity to appear in the 2015 Oscar nominated film "The Last Days in Vietnam" directed and produced by Rory Kennedy - the youngest daughter of Robert F. Kennedy. Miki not only shares his father's (Ba Van Nguyen, CNN: the "Bad Ass") story of bravery during the last few days during the fall of Saigon, but also conveys a message of courage, hope and resiliency. Miki shares how his and thousands of other refugee families overcame the many obstacles, and worked very hard to assimilate in America. While the opportunity to come to this great land was a dream come true, Miki soon discovered that it would not be without its challenges. Although the film covered an epic moment in April 1975, Miki shares even more details to the events leading up to the heroic helicopter ditch at sea and life afterwards in America in his book "My Father The Badass".

With more than 25 years of corporate business experience working for large and small companies, Miki's strengths are in marketing,  business development, branding, product development and design (BSME at the University of Washington, Seattle).  If you are seeking a speaker for your next corporate or community event, industry conference, or business meeting, please consider Miki Nguyen. Your audience will be entertained, educated and motivated ensuring that they will leave encouraged to take on any personal, career or work related challenges with a renewed vigor that can only come from the experience of someone who has intimate knowledge of what it takes to overcome life’s obstacles.
