CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Hey everyone! I'm a laid back guy. I enjoy living life. I enjoy being real with people.

(Obviously, that is not "all about me" but if you read the rest of this page and are still unsatisfied, go ahead and ask me whatever if you want.)

PHILOSOPHY

When choosing between one thing or the other, the best answer is usually both.
Life is about learning; anyone who says they've got it figured out is full of it.
Find your passion and do things you are passionate about. That way you won't get bored.
Be nice to people: Friends are necessary in life, enemies aren't
Try to improve the world a little bit.
And don't sell yourself short. "Hell is when the man he is meets the man he could have been."

Lehren, lernen, teilen

As far as teaching goes:
I'm an English teacher by profession. So I can totally help you with that.
I have a degree in Cognitive Science, and I have a mind seemingly well-built for storing interesting facts, studies, and ideas, so maybe I can tell you a few things.
Also, I worked in the Video Game industry for two years and played sports in high school in college, so if you want to learn more about those...

I also like learning. Teach me how to cook something or teach me Japanese.
