Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To enjoy my time teaching in Korea and develop the skills to be location independent.
ABOUT ME
I travel a lot, probably too much. I just finished 2 1/2 years driving a motorcycle from Alaska to Argentina with one of my best friends. Now I'm back in Korea teaching at a university again. I'm a big shy nerd who likes crazy adventures as much as he likes video games and movies.
