Interests: I am very passionate about life and try to live by two mottos... the first is "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love, and be loved in return." To me this is not only about finding love in people. It is about finding love in what you do. I came to Korea as a teacher on a one year contract and have stayed 18. Part of that is that I fell in love with the country, but the bigger part is that love what I do. I am one of those lucky people that has found what he was always meant to do. The other motto I live by is "If you come to class and complete the minimum...you will get only the minimum. but if you come and give your maximum, there is no end to where we can go." I give 110% in every class that I teach. I have taught when I was sick, I even taught a class once after shattering my arm on a cold winter morning. I give my all to every class I teach.
Personally, I have a lot of hobbies and things that bring me joy; dancing, art, games, cooking, reading, building, and sewing to name but a few. I am not a master of any of them, but I am good enough to do them all well. I also have a zoo living with me consisting of Parrots, Dogs, and Cats. My wife and I have rescued them from bad situations and given them a home full of love.
Life is short and we must always keep learning. It is important to constantly grow. We must share what we have, when we have it. Come join my class and let me share what I know so that you may know a little more and help you to grow...even if it is just a little.
