CURRENT MISSION

To live a story worth listening to.

ABOUT ME

I'm teaching in Fez, Morocco presently, and have lived in Israel, and Italy. Originally, I hail from Atlanta, but the last time my address had a U.S. postal code at the end, I was in New York City. I'm also an artist, an avid reader, and occasional writer.

PHILOSOPHY

Mix one part introverted bookworm with one part bright blue tights and two parts beautiful weather. Stir, and add a cheeky painter, some big earrings, a few characters from a Salman Rushdie novel, a swing on a Southern front porch, a raucous game of Yaniv, a sitcom writer, a box of goldfish, a capoeirista, your favorite dinosaur's skull (mine is a styracosaurus), fresh malawak, and a touch of hot chocolate. Freeze for 25 years, then warm on low heat, and you have my personal philosophy. I recommend not swimming for about 30 minutes after consuming.

教，学，和分享

So much! But I make awesome brunches, tell a lot of great puns, and love few things more than talking about history, art, and literature. Just wind me up, and I can give you an awesome shpiel.
