My name is Michael and I'm originally from Scranton, Pennsylvania, USA.  I'm currently teaching in Nampyeong (a small town in Jeollanamdo between Naju and Gwangju), Korea is my latest stop on a journey that has involved living in 5 foreign countries and visiting 24 and counting.  Starting in 2015, I have lived in the Netherlands, New Zealand, and Australia for 3 months each, and taught in the Czech Republic for a year.  Living in Korea is my first long-term experience in Asia, having previously studied Eastern Philosophy in Taipei, Taiwan during university.

In addition to travel and teaching, I enjoy playing and listening to music, hiking, cycling, and investigating the human condition!  was a philosophy major who never gave up the "love of wisdom."
