Arthur Ting ’93, Group Chairman of Phu My Hung Holdings Group, is heavily involved in the redevelopment of Ho Chi Minh City.

Tabor alums, Andrew Joblon ’02, Charlie King ’06, and Miles Wright ’14 are making their marks in real estate.

While they may have started on different paths, David Ziskind ’57, Robin Dripps ’60, Tracy Marquis ’94, and Elizabeth Tuckel ’97 all turned their love of architecture into thriving careers.

Ever since Lindsay Speace ’05 first took the exciting leap into the world of interior design, she has been collecting inspiration from the world around her.

When Dana Nilson ’79 launched Southeastern Development Company, his intent was to build spec homes. However, the 2008 recession led him to pivot.

See what your classmates and other Tabor Academy Alums have been up to!
