A series of dark, rectangular blocks are arranged in a row on a polished wooden table, caught in the middle of a chain reaction. The blocks on the left lean into one another while four on the right remain standing, creating long, dramatic shadows across the surface. Soft, natural light filters in from a nearby window, illuminating dust motes in the air and casting a warm, atmospheric glow over the quiet indoor setting. The blurred background features a lamp and sofa, which adds to the tranquil and contemplative mood of the scene.

Ideals and Identities
I am an internationally and domestically (Canada) experienced educator and writer who impacts people’s lives by helping them bridge social barriers through language and concept education, and professional teaching and learning opportunities. But more than this, I want us to be encouraged to inhabit fully the Kingdom of God.
My educational background includes formal training in Philosophy and Metacognition, Linguistics, Religious Studies, History, teaching certification, and ESL practice. But it also includes many years of travels/residence throughout North America, East and Southeast Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, and Northern Europe. Within this has been the study of other languages with various proficiency, and and intimate awareness of Zen meditation studied in South Korea.
Importantly, I am a husband and a father, and in those roles and others, I have a wide reach of connection in various international communities.
