CURRENT MISSION

To do what and be where a conscious life leads me

ABOUT ME

I'm an English teacher with an interest in constructed language and music theory. I was a computer programmer for a couple decades. I have two incredible daughters - one is in the US and the other in Russia. Sometimes I like to play violin. Have done seat-of-the-pants travel to New York, Cleveland, Moscow.

Teach, Learn, Share
