I'm the son of an English professor father and an English as a second language teacher mother. I was raised with not only an appreciation of the English language but also for those that learn it. Growing up in Michigan, I acquired the standard American accent.
After studying history in college, I traveled to Russia to teach English and get some experience abroad. Little did I know that I would fall in love with teaching as well.
More than ten years later, having taught

I still learn as much from my students as I teach them, which means I remain committed to my work. Every day brings something new.
Currently, I live in Prague with my wife and two children.
Apart from work and family, I enjoy reading, cooking, gardening and tasting new beers.
