Hello!

Hi guys. I think this will be very similar to my video. But here it goes... My name is Greg Praetz. I am an American from California now living in the southern Philippines. I was a professional musician for more than 30 years. I attended the university of Hawaii while serving in the U.S navy. I later achieved an advanced degree from JOHN DEERE UNIVERSITY in sales. I then proceeded to work for John deere dealerships on and off for about 30 years while continuing to work as a musician. I'm now living a very peaceful life in the southern Philippines in a little beach house and a nice big property with a lot of coconut trees and all kinds of fruits and vegetables. I own a successful business but my manager runs the day to day operations as per design. I have recently found myself a little bored and thought this might be a cool gig for me. Something to do and I thought it could be very rewarding. I would love to be able to help if I can. Most days I just sit on my lanai so if there is anything I can do for you please don't hesitate. I guess that's about it guys. That's me in a nutshell. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

I've been married for 34 years. We have one daughter. She graduated from U.C. San Diego as a math major and is now a vice president of international sales for her company and living in California. My wife and I live a very simple life here in the Philippines. We have a huge property near the beach and grow most of our own fruits and vegetables. We have a lot of dogs and and cats and 1 goat named Fred. We own a successful business that basically runs itself now so doesn't require much of my time. I love to cook and I take a lot of walks. I also love to swim and free dive but not as much anymore because of my skin cancer. My life is pretty simple now that we have moved to the Philippines. We try to travel to some of the other islands when we have time and also throughout Southeast Asia but mostly we just stay home and enjoy our simple life.

Teaching Style

I'm not sure if I have a teaching style. I have taught management classes with John Deere Corp for many years now. I taught music for a few years and became very close to some of my students. Some of them became professionals so I felt very proud of them. I guess if I had a teaching style it would be that of a friendship. I very much care for my students and I want them to achieve greatness.
