Several old, hardcover books are arranged on a wooden table, with one book lying flat and the others standing upright in the background. The book lying flat is titled ‘The Individual and the State: Critical Essays.’ The standing books include titles by Kant, Kierkegaard, Rosa Luxemburg, and Arendt. The scene is softly lit, emphasizing the texture and worn edges of the books, suggesting a scholarly or academic environment focused on philosophy and political theory.

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.
