CURRENT MISSION

Health, Love, Service, Music, Balance, and Gratitude.

ABOUT ME

I smile wide, talk a lot, listen closely. I laugh often. I'm easily moved by gratuitous displays of humanity. I like my summers hot and my winters cold. I like change. I love water in all its forms. I whistle a little too often. I want to be tough and tender.

I live in Philadelphia, PA and am a 1st grade general education teacher, children's musician with the group City Love (https://www.muchcitylove.com), garden educator and proud father!

PHILOSOPHY

Love. Live. Laugh. Learn. Lasagna?

教，学，和分享

I want to share some laughs, good conversation, good music, and good food with anyone that comes my way. I'm also an associate instructor of Qigong (Chi Kung) moving meditation for self-healing and would love to share some practices with others who are interested :)
