I'm a teacher. It's hard work and takes up a lot of my time, but I love to do it. Right now, I am helping people from other countries learn English so that they can get into college. I have students from all over the world and because of this, I've learned more about people and different cultures than I ever imagined. Since I'm around it all the time, I've also started learning Arabic and Spanish. Je peux deja parler francais car j'ai habite en France pour 2 ans.

My goal is to finish my masters, get a job at a public school, and do good things for people.

If I'm not working, I'm lifting heavy things, putting them down, and then trying to touch my toes. They're so far away! As the weather improves, I'll be running more and more. I'm doing a 5K this month and Tough Mudder in June.

I'm really good at designing snow forts, telling the future, cheating at UNO, reading minds, programming the microwave's clock, knock knock jokes, bootlegging liquor, losing at checkers, baking bread, running, falling asleep in the shower, drying the dishes, whistling, forgetting names, stopping crime, starting a camp fire, laying in a hammock, flying, making onion soup, driving on ice, and listening to people.

I'm tall but once people get past that, I've found that people tell me I am calm, thoughtful, and very laid back.

Food? I eat everything* I love trying new foods and tastes. That's part of life right? Try everything while you can.
I recently found an awesome Peruvian place and have been to a few Arabian restaurants in the past few months.

Books? I haven't been reading as much as I should. I finished American Gods by Neil Gaiman and started the Game of Thrones series. I'm not proud, but I read the first Twilight. It was for a class, I swear!

Movies? WARNING. I will watch movies with subtitles.

Music? I listen to a wide range that really depends on my mood. Arcade Fire to Zoe Keating. Alison Krauss to Young the Giant. Aesop Rock to Wilco. And there's still a lot of bands in between. Gogol Bordello, Flogging Molly, The Decemberists. Massive Attack. Spoon. M83. White Stripes. RJD2. Fleet Foxes. The Cat Empire. Sigur Ros. The National.

I need sleep and coffee in order to function.
I need glasses or contacts in order to see.
I need music just to help me focus.
I need hot showers or a beer to relax.
I need my friends and family to enjoy my day.

Well.... tonight is Friday. I have Fridays off so today I went snowboarding at Keystone. I got home, made dinner, and basically crashed after a long day on the mountain.

Other Fridays, I'm at a movie or bar with friends, sharing a home cooked meal or have some people over for a dinner party.

And on the best of Fridays, I'm grading papers, writing tests, and doing report cards.

Message me if you feel like getting a drink or coffee some time.
If you want to have a conversation in French.
If you've never been the little spoon.
