About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Teach in China, learn more Chinese, have a ball doing it!

ABOUT ME

71 years have gone by too fast, but left their mark... the perpetual youth inside looks in amazement at the old man in the mirror. So why look? Get out and see the World, meet new friends, experience new cultures, learn more languages, hike, swim, sail, play tennis, ping pong, soccer, sing and dance, drink and talk till dawn...enjoy life doing good until the time runs out...

PHILOSOPHY

The Golden Rule, leave it better than you found it, make love not war, live so there will be a tomorrow for everyone...
