ABOUT ME
I am a high school math teacher in Denver Colorado USA.
Never thought that I will be a real school teacher before. I used to be a camp counselor and an outdoor instructor in Taiwan for several years.
I'm a funny guy and love to hang out with different people. Really really love nature, animals, kids(or babies)and people.
About my English level. Some of my CS friends said I should change my level to expert. But you know, I'm not really sure about that. But I promise I will try my best to let you know what I'm talking about.

Interests
For sports:
I love all kinds of sports. I was an basketball player in junior school, a baseball player in high school and college. I am also a softball umpire in Taiwan.
For outdoors:
Since I was an outdoor instructor of course I do love outdoor activities. I am still improving all of my skills. Wish to be a better instructor in the future.
For cooking:
I'm a really good cook and I almost can make every kinds of food. My favorit food is stinky tofu which is a traditional chinese food. If you like to cook too. I t will be great to cook together and share the food, drinking and share stories. One of the best things in human's life ever.
For taveling:
It could seperate to two parts. One is travel in the cities. Being a backpacker in different countries is really good. Sometimes I will choose the youth hostel to stay and meet all the backpackers there from the whole world.
The sceond one is take a trip in the true wilderness environmont. No modern equipments, no cars, no shops. Just trees, animals, mountains and rivers. That's the thing I will keep doing in my whole life.
For kids:
Because my mom owns a kindergarten in Taiwan. So I realy love to play with little kids. They are just so lovely.
For Animals:
I like all kinds of animals. Dogs, Cats, Birds, Whatever they are. But......please no Grizzly Bear for me.

Music, Movies, and Books
I prefer novels and every kinds of music. But not too heavy music, I am afraid that I can't take it. I love novels, with some history inside is better cause I can learn the different culture and country background from books.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I was a military police and protected our president. Carrying weapons and wearing suit, practicing the martial art everyday. It was tired but it's quit fun. Learning gun shooting, combat skills. I have to say this is one of the coolest experiece in my life.
Sailing from Taiwan to Hong Kong. Solo hiking on the Appalachian Trail in winter time. Won the champion title in the national college chemistry department softball game.
Meet wonderful people from all over the world. Learn tons of different cultures in my whole life.
Hope I will have more amazing experiences.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you how to climb, how to kayak, how to do all the outdoor activities and stuff like that. And if you want to know how to cook, just ask me. I'm also a EMT-Basic and Wilderness EMT so if you're insterested how to immobilize the spine, maybe, I can show you :).
Martial arts is another one to share or teach. Good for guys to protect yourself and your girls. Awesome for girls to protect themselves and their boyfriend.
Skills for a real fight or how to make yourself more healthy.
