CURRENT MISSION

Play, play and more play

ABOUT ME

I'm a native Los Angeleno and other than when I was a small child, I really haven't taken many trips out of the states. Once I made it all the way to Mexicali, back before you needed a passport to go to Mexico.

My time is filled with playful things, as I teach Lindy Hop, Improvisation and Board Games. Even when I teach math, I'm kinda playful. I've created a Geometry course because I wanted to help students get beyond the terror.

I've been studying French for a little while, but I'd consider myself a better reader than a speaker. Je veux pratiquer le Francais. At some point, I'd like to learn Sanskrit as well.

There's a lot of stuff in my head and from time to time it comes tumbling out.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't forget to breathe.
