İlgi Alanları: I was born in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, and grew up in Washington State where I acquired a love for hiking, running, swimming and motorcycle riding in the many mountain trails, rivers and ocean areas. I love listening to different kinds of music, from rock to classical, and I've played the violin since I was nine. I'm also a big fan of NBA basketball and MLB baseball.

When I returned to St. Louis to start college study, I met many international students from several universities when volunteering as an English tutor. Since then, I have loved traveling overseas to other countries and learning other cultures, including the Philippines where my wife is from.

I've traveled throughout Europe and worked teaching English in five countries in parts of Asia and Arabia. After working for 15 years in my last full-time job, teaching academic English in a college, I retired.

However, my interest in traveling, meeting and working with foreign students remains. I have a strong desire to help others improve their lives by passing on my English skills. I hope this can include you! :-)
