Who I Am

  I’m trying, as best I can, to make the most of this life.  In my view, this is all I have–nothing beyond–so I aim to squeeze the juice out of every single second.

  I read, I write, I listen, I speak, I watch, I think.

  I majored in English Education with an emphasis on literature, and I currently teach English at a top-ranked California high school.  But this does not encompass me: I believe in being as balanced as humanly possible, and so my interests are far-reaching.  I try to read a book each of non-fiction, fiction, and poetry at once to keep my thinking fresh.

  I believe in keeping the body as sharp as the mind: they’re inextricably linked after all.  I make a point of exercising five days a week.  Frankly, it makes me feel better.

  I have the love of a beautiful woman, and I love her more with each day that passes.  We will soon have a daughter, and I cannot wait to be a father.

  All I know is that I don’t know, but I’m willing to try.
