A bit about me:

Hey, everyone! Thanks for visiting my website.

 

I’m an English education professor at a small university in South Korea and also a painter and avid outdoorsman who loves cycling, swimming, camping, and hiking. My international journey began over a decade ago when I served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Turkmenistan. Since then, I’ve traveled extensively Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, eventually settling down in South Korea after meeting my lovely wife.

​

Korea is stunningly beautiful, and I'm thankful to have had the opportunity to visit so much of the country, either on my bike or with a paintbrush in hand.

​

After getting the Korea Cycling Grand Slam in 2019 and the Shinan Island medal in 2020, I began embracing my other great passion, art. I’ve taken lessons in Korean ink-wash and traditional folk painting, joined the Korea Creation Arts Association, and displayed my work at the Korean Creation Grand Art Exhibition. More exhibitions are on the horizon.

 

Thank you!
