About Me

Click here to view a bigger version of my map!
You can also make your own, it's free! I am an international teacher of math and science living and working in Kyiv, Ukraine. I have also taught in New Zealand and the US (North Carolina). I am originally from Charlotte, North Carolina and have lived in Wilmington, NC, Missoula, MT, Durango, CO, Auckland, NZ, Novosibirsk Russia, and now Kyiv Ukraine.I like to travel and have been fortunate enough to get paid for it! I like to exercise and love the outdoors. I have worked as a fly-fishing guide in the past during summer breaks and thoroughly enjoy fishing, golf, working out, kayaking, basketball, tennis, squash and hiking (tramping).I'm a really laid back kind of guy who likes to frequently go out and I enjoy learning about new cultures and meeting interesting people.

My Interests

Travel, outdoors, sports, history, science, learning, meeting cool people.

I'd like to meet:

There are a few people I would like to meet. I would like to reconnect with people I have lost touch with in the past for one. I would like to meet interesting people from all over the world. I would like to meet people in Ukraine who can help me with my Russian. I would like to meet people with a passion for travel and who might have some good travel tips. I'm also willing to share my experiences if I can be of help to anyone. Outside of meeting the right woman someday that's about it.

Music:

I listen to everything and I do mean EVERYTHING! My favorites though would be classic rock and classic country (if there is such a thing ;-) )

Movies:

Unfortunately I'm one of these people that forgets a movie 30 minutes after seeing it. But science fiction, drama and comedies would be my favorite! The Natural is my all-time favorite movie.

Television:

God Ukrainian TV is terrible! But still better than NZ TV! Back in the States it was all about the Comedy Channel, Discovery Channel, The History Channel, VH-1, and ESPN 1,2,Classic and de Ocho

Books:

I like books on science fiction and history. I also enjoy biographies and autobiographies on interesting people.

Heroes:

My heroes growing up were my grandfather, mother and father. There have been a few people in history I have been a huge fan of. Those being Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Robert E. Lee, and any great explorer (too many to list!).

The Kremlin

With grace and elegance you appear. Very wise and clever you hide. Behind emotional walls built from fear, Observing a man as you decide, "What could this man see in me? Why does he seek my attention?...
