About Me
CURRENT MISSION
"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page." -- St. Augustine I want to read every page.
ABOUT ME
Hello, my name is Scooter. I left my job in corporate America to pursue teaching English in South Korea. I then backpacked alone for over a year. It was a scary journey to leave and go to a land of the unknown. Traveling is my passion and I have dedicated my life to culture and diversity education.
I am currently living back home in the United States and teaching middle school in San Diego. I absolutely adore children and have the best job in the world! I like to see what the world has to offer and travel as often as I can.

PHILOSOPHY
I want to play in all of the World's sandboxes. I live for culture and diversity education and want to experience as many things as possible. Adventure, learning, and connection are my driving forces. But laughter helps too.
