Tai Chi & Qigong

  • Besides your obvious coolness, what makes you qualified to teach? Sharing the gift that was shared with me.
  • What other things are you qualified to do (besides train dolphins ... we're all qualified to do that)? With a Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering and Masters in Computer Science, I have work extensively with computer applications ranging from manufacturing, Telecom, CRM, Energy, and managing databases. (ed. so, I'll interpret this to mean you will be helping me out once in a while)
  • What can we expect to see, hear and do in your classes? Practice easy movements, while trying to do “less”. Have FUN while doing it.
  • What pose/move do you dig the most and why? “Parting the Ocean” and “Repulse the monkey”, now you have to attend class to learn what that is.
  • If you could push a button and remove a pose/move from history, which one and why? “Golden chicken stands on one leg”, now you have to discover what it is.
  • Like, what's your sign man? Capricorn.
  • What are 3 things that make you smile real big and cheesy? My dogs playing and “talking” to me, watching a sunrise, seeing an “old” friend. As a side thing that makes me smile – I have a non-profit company that assist children and families who seem to be overlooked by the other larger non-profits. I get the biggest smile when I hear stories from the teachers telling our non-profit how the children come to school so proud of their new clothes or being able to play with in the snow with their new warm coat and boots.
  • What is your favorite quote when you're in need of a little inspiration? Relax, “less is more”.
  • If you could do anything to change the world, what would it be? Focus on what is really important, self development and awareness.
  • Any other interesting information you would like to share with the nice people reading this here Bio? I enjoy outdoors activities like camping, fishing, sports (when it is cool), learning to play golf, reading, working on projects around the house. My dogs have me trained.
