ABOUT ME

Things that I am:
A dreamer, an artist, a sometimes writer; a thinker, a planner, a sometimes doer; a humanist, a realist, a disappointed idealist; a scholar, a drifter, a blueberry-picker.

PHILOSOPHY

The choices we make in life are who we are, because a person's will is his/her existence. Make good decent humanly choices, and you are a good decent humanly person. Shine in good will, and your life will be the sun.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I served two years as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Ukraine, teaching English, which had been a long-time dream of mine...probably the most amazing thing I've done in my lifetime to date.
