This site began as a way for friends and family to keep track of me, as well as a way for potential design clients to view my portfolio of design work. While the site still serves these purposes, the content of this site covers additional material for additional audiences. Now, the site can be divided into four sections.

- Korean Learning - Learning languages is a passion of mine. Right now the language is Korean. Any helpful tips I find, I post to help others who are also attempting to get a handle on the language. *disclaimer
- Daily Life - Traveling, parties with friends, competitions, work, and whatever else takes up time in my day, are placed under this title. Since September 2008, I’ve been living in Korea. More specifically, living in the small farming town of Buan. Korean life has its surprises and that’s mostly that is what I share here.
- Elementary English - Thrown into the world of elementary education as an English teacher has presented me with all kinds of challenges. I’ve learned a lot and continue to learn more. Find my most successful lesson plans and any helpful tips I’ve discovered. English elementary teachers, this is for you.
- Art and Design - Up until 2008 this was my vocation. A selection of my design work is in the gallery. And, while my professional title is no longer designer, art and design still make up a large portion of my work. I design and post Flash animations, worksheets, PowerPoint presentations, and games. Occasionally, I find a engaging piece of art. I post that too.

I think this is the most appropriate place to display quotes that have stayed with me through the years. Perhaps they define me, or at the very least they say something about me.
/////// “Follow your bliss. Your heart will lead you right.” – Joseph Campbell
We are slaves to our mind and body.
/////// “If I have seen farther than most, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants”. – Isaac Newton
In the bigger picture, our life means nothing without others.
/////// “Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.” – Antoine de Saint-Exupery
From the author of The Little Prince talking about trust and growing together.
/////// “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.” – Nelson Mandela.
Respect!
/////// “To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there’s no music, no choreography, and the dancers hit each other.” – Jack Handey
Pure genius. Pure funny. Pure pointlessness.
