Hello!

Hello there! With more than two decades of experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the world of English education. Hailing from the vibrant state of Ohio in the United States, I now reside in beautiful Brazil with my wonderful wife and son. It's the rich culture and unique lifestyle of Brazil that have captivated our hearts. In my spare time, I indulge in my passion for staying up-to-date with the latest trends in technology, business, and global events. I thrive on surfing the web to explore new ideas and stay informed about the ever-evolving world around us. Are you ready to embark on an exciting journey of English language learning? Join me as your conversation partner, and together, we can unlock countless opportunities for personal and professional growth. Let's connect and begin this enriching linguistic adventure. Don't miss this chance to enhance your English skills and broaden your horizons – reach out to me today!

Earlier in my life, I worked as a finance manager and a college administrator. Today, I enjoy discussing and learning about drones, and artificial intelligence. Some of my passions are rhythmic jogging, hiking in the woods, and trying new and different foods.
