I teach History, English, and Special Education at a public High School in the Bronx, NYC.
I truly love what I do.
I am interested in philosophy, zen, music, art, literature, life, the universe, everything, and the places where it all connects, synthesizes, and catalyzes creativity.
I want to change the world from my tiny spot in the universe and let the karma ripple outward.
