CURRENT MISSION

to live fully and love truly...

ABOUT ME

We are happily married (since 2007). We are active and try to live a healthy lifestyle. We are both certified high school teachers. We are international school teachers. We taught in South Korea for two years and three years in Chiang Mai, Thailand. We like to enjoy our summers in the Midwest USA.

As a hobby, we perform together as acrobatic jugglers/unicyclists (bobandtrish.com). We've broken several Guinness world records for joggling (running while juggling)... no joke ;)

PHILOSOPHY

receive love, give love... everyone is a student, everyone is a teacher... Teach. Learn. Share. Live fully, love truly.
