CURRENT MISSION

Do everything all the time (except on Sunday mornings)

ABOUT ME

I suppose my mantra in life is to do whatever you want, whenever you want, as long as you're not hurting anyone else. I believe that people are sincerely good by nature, and I appreciate every opportunity I get to reaffirm this. I enjoy meeting new people from all walks of life and hearing their stories. Hong Kong is a wonderful place to do this because there is such an eclectic mix of personalities and nationalities here. My passions in life are maybe not so unique, but I live for good food, a strong drink, great music, and better friends. I rarely find a situation that I think requires complete seriousness, but that's not to say I don't respect the importance of responsibility and trust. I enjoy showing people interesting places / things that I, myself, enjoy. In return for this, I expect you to tell me about some of the exciting places your path has taken you.

PHILOSOPHY

All that I need is the air that I breathe...but a little bourbon is nice sometimes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

More days than not, I have the chance to see that little smile of self-assurance and accomplishment that one of my students gets when they wholly understand a new concept. If you ask me, that's a pretty amazing thing.
