Hi. I'm an international school teacher, education blogger and short story writer originally from Canton, Ohio and currently based in Beijing, China, where I'm the head of high school English at private international school. My wife Jennifer and I have spent the past decade traveling and working outside the United States and have previously lived in Cairo, Egypt and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. I write primarily about the absurdities of American expatriate life and about looking back at one's own country from abroad.
