About Me

I'm just another expat living in the land of the South Korea. And after several years here, I'm finally beginning to blend in...well, in so much as a tall white guy can in the Orient. I have just a few talents and gifts, but so far they seem to be effectively used here, so until I sense a call elsewhere, this is place I'll remain. There's plenty of work here for someone like me to be passionately involved in.
