Own Words

I’m a halfsy; I was born to a Korean mother and an African American father in Seoul, Korea. From there, as all Army brats do, I traveled around the world until I ended up in Texas. And now I’ve come full circle back to the Motherland.

After college, I had the choice of either going entering the work force or spending a year or two in Korea. I knew that I didn’t choose the latter, I’d always regret it.

And so here I am. In Korea, teaching English to little kiddies, looking to make life long memories with people in a country that I call home.
