As a participant in the U.S.-China Teachers Exchange Program, I lived and worked in Luoyang, China for one year. I also spent a year in Paris, France working on a graduate degree in French. In my spare time, I enjoy studying Spanish, as I would like to reach an intermediate level of proficiency by May of 2022. I also like to read and to listen to music. My wife and I have four family pets: two dogs and two cats. We enjoy spending time with them - and that includes taking the dogs for a car ride at least once daily.
