I have known Kyle Murphy for a long time, as I taught his two children,

and we became acquainted through our social circles at TAC. Kyle, who

served in the US Marine Corps, developed an affinity for Asia while

stationed in Vietnam and decided to remain in this region. Before

joining the US embassy, he pursued a degree in Japanese history at

Sophia University, furthered his studies at Purdue University, and

gained experience at SmithKline. Later, he established his own company,

specializing in medical devices and pharmaceuticals. Kyle reminisces

about his cherished childhood memories from West Virginia.
