Youth and schooling
My youth was quite typical of many a Yankees of the GenX era, our parents moved around many times, in search of the "American Dream" Moving was a way of life, so, I learned that change is part of life and excepting it makes life more smooth.

Leaving the USA Behind
I left the USA in 2002 to follow my teenage dream of living and working in China. to further unravel into my almost two decade long quest to understand the mysteries of this centuries old nation and its philosophical point of view, especially in regards to it's medicine. .

Marriage and family life
I went to China to live out my life, but as it always seems to be, fate has it's own course...Just after arriving, I met a young women who stood out amongst a sea of young naive girls eager to learn for the foreigner, her name was Maggie. Everyday I would practice Yoga at dusk, I would go out on campus the basketball courts. Of course a curious crowd would a mass, with their standard questions, but only one would remain silent, until she felt it was appropriate to ask a question.. While others where interested in a vasy number of subjects, mainly about western things, she was mainly interested in Chinese philosophy and medicine..
