Howdy, and welcome to my shameless self promoting dating profile.

This is my third year in Korea and I love it here! I'm a kindergarten and elementary school English teacher who wants to move up to teaching at a university.

I am goofy and nerdy, meow at all cats, nod approvingly at crows as they strut along, and feed squirrels that cross my path. I laugh maniacally, and go from calm and collected to hyper and goofy in 0.68 seconds.

I love traveling and am a perpetual learner. I've studied International Studies, American Political-Economy, Asian Studies, education, and history. If I'm not learning or exploring I feel like I'm not living. I also live a healthy and active lifestyle. I find the idea of living off pizza and beer gross, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy it from time to time.

I have no interest in material things, and believe that life is far richer with a collection experiences than a collection of things.

I value my independence (personal, financial, and intellectual) a lot. I don't really identify with any groups, and just love being able to be myself and get along with anyone and everyone.

A girl who breaks when I hug her or changes her personality to please me? Boooooooooooring. I'm turned on by women who: Travel, are independent, have goals, smile, laugh, are fit, have curves, wear glasses, nerd out, love high fives, have confidence, ambition, and intelligence, and can give tight hugs, and passionate kisses.

Becoming Great Teacher Michael.

Making people laugh.
Explaining things.
Getting lost.
Forgiving.
Being a jack-of-all trades but expert at none.

Appearing on TV. I've lived in Korea a little over 2 years and have appeared on TV 3 times, and once in America as a kid as well.

Probably my eyes or smile in the US. In Korea it is probably that I'm white and tall.

How much more fun it would be if martial arts battles broke out randomly in public.

usually tired. I tend to take Friday easy.

I was Tacoma Community College's Anime club president back in 2002.

This is super nerdy, but I get super excited about logical thinking and critical analysis. On the flip side I get super frustrated and fired up at subjective thinking and pseudo-intellectualism. I respect objective people I disagree with more than subjective people I agree with.

Licorice makes me vomit. Like instantly... If you eat some licorice and talk to me a half hour later, don't be surprised if I hurl all over the place.
