CURRENT MISSION Join the world community, maybe take a small peek outside the little box I live in... ABOUT ME I am volunteering in Ollantaytambo, Peru for 6 months then riding my Suzuki dr650 home to Michigan from Dec 2011-March 2012. I am working with the Sacred Valley Project, a dorm dedicated to providing a high school education to indigenous girls from the highlands. Check it out. http://sacredvalleyproject.org/ Usually I am a high school math teacher. PHILOSOPHY I am a fragment of a mirror whose whole shape and design I do not know. But with what I have been given I can reflect light into the world, into the dark places where light would otherwise not shine. Perhaps others will see and do likewise.
