Et cetera

In 1988, I found myself for the first time in front of an English class for speakers of other languages. The coming years would take me to teach in Germany, Northern Virginia, North Carolina, China, Azerbaijan, Kentucky, and now Ohio. In all these years, I can honestly say I’ve never had a bad day working with international students.

In addition to teaching, I’m very interested in East Asia and Eurasia, having spent a total of five years living and travelling in these parts. Chinese and Turkic languages have proved to be and endless source of fascination – if a bit exasperating at times.

In my free time, you might find me playing the piano or banjo, hiking, boating, or skiing, while dreaming of the next sojourn abroad.
