Fun Facts: Can stand on my head for 10 minutes, sometimes be the fastest 70+ man on the track in a 5k race (sometimes I’m the only 70+ guy in the race). My wife likes to race up mountains on her bike. My son, who is an animator living in Brooklyn, commutes by bike from Brooklyn to Manhattan. Which one is craziest?
My teaching philosophy is to find out what’s in each individual student, and, working together, find the means to get it out.
