CURRENT MISSION

Live while we're young

ABOUT ME

My wife and I met in Seoul in 2006 and wed a couple years later. We are currently living in Korea, but are slowly making our way back to the US in 2011.

No kids yet, but we do have an excellent brown dog that keeps us busy enough on the weekends.

PHILOSOPHY

"Every once and awhile you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right."

-Robert Hunter

"So many roads to ease my soul."

-Jerry Garcia

All living things whether it be people, animals, insects or plants are interconnected. We all sympathize with each other and all of us have a responsibility to protect our only home; Earth.

We also love good food, good drinks, good people, good stories and, most of all, good vibs.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

Between my wife and I we have ten years of teaching experience -all in Korea. Aside from the innards of educational philosophy, we both love to rattle on about different cultural approaches to education as well as the splendor of diversity and oneness.

That, and we're big history buffs.
