ABOUT ME

Seasoned educator and world traveler. I'm an eclectic guy into discovering different cultures and people. High school teacher. Married with college aged daughter now living away - so we like to fill the "empty nest" sometime.

PHILOSOPHY

Still waters run deep. NOt a big talker but certainly a big listener.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Corporation - I love that movie show it in my college classes. Curb my Enthusiasm - I love that type of humor. Musics - jazz, world beat, Latin, and alternative. Plus a large dose of 70s and 80s when I used to have time to listen to music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in Honduras, Central America as a peace corps volunteer in the 80s - lived without electricity for 1 year and no English. Don't think I could do it today but I did it then when I was young, single, and in my 20s.

Teach, Learn, Share

Tutoring experience from 5-80. Spanish, social studies, SAT, math, English. I'm also great with directions so I can guide your anywhere. Finally, I've had a fantasy of traveling cross country - maybe a driveaway so I can take your vehicle from SF Bay Area to Portland, Maine without a scratch!
