About

Native English speaker from Southern California, but I'll, like, totally try to avoid using "like" and "totally" too often in my ELL answers.

Also conversant in Japanese. Taught ESL in Japan for a number of years, in my youth, but I'll let you read about that in my memoirs.

"They can take our lives, but they'll never take our hats!!"
