Geography

I've lived in four countries spanning three continents, as well as traveled abroad to twenty-four. I've also taught 7th and 9th grade Geography at a private school in Rockville, MD.

Religion

I'm the son of an Army chaplain. He's now a pastor in New England. I have a BA in Biblical Studies, an MA in Christian Counseling, and am currently studying full-time for a Master of Divinity. I have studied Religion for around 10 years now beyond the Christian perspective. I have read or listened to Dhammapada, Tao te Ching, Bhagavad Gita, Analects of Confucius, Half of the Koran, 1Book of Lehi, and all major Gnostic Gospels.

Korean

I've lived in South Korea for around 5 years and was able to develop my working knowledge of Korean to the point of dictation. I can't teach advanced levels, but I can help new students who want to visit or work in Korea get an introduction to the language and culture that is practical for everyday life there.

Bible Studies

I taught Bible in Giebelstadt, Germany; Hongcheon, South Korea; and Silver Spring, Maryland. I also have a BA in Biblical Studies [Interdisciplinary], MA in Christian Counseling, and am a full-time student at RTS working towards the Master of Divinity.
