Oi!

My full name is Aodhán , but a lot of people call me Chuck or Chuckolate (seems easier to remember).

I heir from the river lands of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania U.S.A. and go to school in Butler, PA. For now I will call any place with friends and opportunities my home. If that doesn't work, I always have my tent :)

I work at a University as a writing consultant and tutor, and also study writing and Spanish there. I have been in Spain for the last two months (or so) studying.

A few overarching values guide most of my decisions (Trustworthiness, Usefulness, and Kindness) which makes an overall direction possible without being too specific. Sometimes it works, sometimes I just go crazy.

The past few years I've been writing an extended story and produced a podcast about "exploring the world before settling down".

All things considered I'd love to help, learn, and share wherever I can in whatever way presents itself. Let's make it a win-win, yo!

Thanks a Bazillion,

Aodhán

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking a meal with whatever ingredients are in the house or in the garden. I can practice some Chilean slang Spanish with you and play the Mountain flute if I didn't lose it since writing this. Also if you write, I can edit, we can share prose. Spontaneous or otherwise.
