Holden Nguyen

Hometown: Los Gatos, CA and Carlsbad, CA

Major: SymSys

Three things I love to do at Stanford outside of class: Podcast for "The Two Barking Dogs" (check it out on Spotify), Write screenplays, and Radio Commentate Stanford Athletics for KZSU!!!

I could talk all day about: Literally anything!!! Here's some examples: sports (literally all sports!!!), movies/tv (rom-coms to cult classics), anything tech, backpacking (the places to go and the things to see), and why lebron james is the goat (open to debate!!!).

I would love to connect with guests who work in fields related to: entrepreneurship, venture capital, entertainment, art

Biosketch: HAHAHAHAHA!!! That’s the sound you’ll hear when you pass by Holden. Holden is so back and so stoked. He is excited, energetic, and is always using his trademarked laugh. These traits were developed in his hometown of Los Gatos, CA, and were refined at the Army and Navy Academy, an all boys military school off the coast of Carlsbad, CA. On weekdays during the school year, Holden is a junior studying Symbolic Systems. He chose Symbolic Systems to make his parents happy and to give him the flexibility of learning more languages like Arabic and Chinese!!! On weekends and his off day, you can find him podcasting for "Two Barking Dogs," backpacking, amateur DJing, writing screenplays, and watching sports; all of which are fun mediums for him to exert that energy! Most importantly, he can’t wait to use his energy to teach you how to ski on the ski dock!!! If you see him (or hear him) around, come and tell him your stories and interests!!! He definitely won’t bite you, but he will definitely laugh with you!!!
TLDR: Listen to his podcast "Two Barking Dogs"; it would make him so happy!!! It will also give you a good feel for what Stanford students think about, talk about, and work on!!! You can ask him for a QR code or look up "Two Barking Dogs" on Spotify.
