I am an educator that helps students with academics, test prep, confidence, and motivation. In a previous life, I worked as an Investment Banker and Management Consultant.

I am a big fan of anything related to the Michigan Wolverines as that is my alma mater. I enjoy eating, but then again who doesn't. I try to exercise but I usually fail more than I succeed. I like things to be simple and easy. I don't sweat the small stuff. Life is too short to be angry.

As a guest, I am respectful of the property and belongings. I follow host directions and I have fun where ever I am visiting.

As a host, I ask guests to also respect our house and belongings and to follow any rules we have set up as they were most likely established to ensure the safety of both our guests and us (my wife and I).

VRBO wants me to share a life motto. So here goes, in addition to the one I previously mentioned about not sweating the small stuff, one thing I share with my students is to "focus on what you can control." Usually, that means your own individual effort and to be the person that you want to be, not what others expect you to be."
