CURRENT MISSION

I'm going to go ahead and take a CS Lewis quote "Thirst was made for water; inquiry for truth."

ABOUT ME

Friend, brother, son, uncle, educator, relative, reader, talker, blogger, technologist, acquaintance, oxygen user, latte drinker..........ME!
I am a teacher in Songtan, South Korea from Los Angeles, California. Alumni of LBSU (M.A. & teaching credential), CSUDH (B.A.) and Fremont Magnet HS...just a guy who is chill, talkative, mile-a-minute, educationally inclined, witty (so I've been told), opinionated (so I've really been told), and I try my best to be well-read.

PHILOSOPHY

"As we grow older, things become less and less precious, and more and more sacred." - Alanis Morissette

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It can't be easy going to a new country and not knowing anyone. Here's where I try to step in and be of service.

Interests

Books, education technology, tennis, a good cup of coffee, crazy and absurd rollercoasters, blogging, tweeting, and having a good conversation.

Music, Movies, and Books

Usually anything that says the word Narnia or Harry Potter peak my interests. On the literature front I enjoy Paulo Coehlo, CS Lewis, Gregory Maguire, Dean Koontz, Anne Rice, Chelsea Handler, and JK Rowling.
Music-wise I enjoy Sting, Alanis Morissette, Michael Jackson, No Doubt, System of a Down, Timbiriche, Fey, Mana, Paulina Rubio and The Killers.
Favorites of mine in films are Dogma, Hamlet 2, Superbad, Shrek, Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion, Hook, Finding Neverland, Tenacious D, and Schindler's List.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can't forget being on the Great Wall of China. Though sweating immensely, that didn't matter when my hand reached the high point. Couldn't help to think if I was now visible in outer space.
