About me
- I may have finished my degree, but I refuse to surrender my title as student!
- Teach me something.
- "'There's nothing really can touch skiing is there?' Nick said. 'The way it feels when you first drop off on a long run.'
'Huh,' said George. 'It's too swell to talk about.'"

- What is the point of learning something, if you can't share it with others?
- There are few things more rewarding to me than when helping a student, you finally tap into their logic and are able to jump to light speed, where they all of a sudden are able to understand so many things they have spent days struggling with .

- I am fascinated by the human body and in understanding how it can so elegantly manipulate itself and objects in its environment.
- Furthermore, I am driven to explore what variables condition so many of us (me included) to surrender movement from our daily life, preferring a sedentary existence over one of play and surprise.
