To my readers,

Things have gotten really busy for me lately.  Initially, I wanted to at least update this page once every week, but it seems like time is against me.  Have other priorities that call for my attention, and that means I can't put my all into this blog.  I am sad to say that I will not be updating this page anymore and don't know when I will resume doing so.  Thank you for reading my blog and for all the emails. 

Feel free to continue emailing any questions regarding the army, fighting, Thailand etc.

Take care and train hard!

My Teaching Philosphy

I have worked in the teaching field for 2 years and have developed a philosophy that served me well.

My teaching philosophy is simple. Broken down into 4 parts they are:

1. Patience through listening
Patience and listening skills are critical factors for the progression of students.

2. Continuous Growth
The journey towards growth and personal development is a never ending quest. Keeping yourself up to date with technology and ideas is therefore very important when pertaining to teaching.

3. Effective Communication
Communication is a two-way process where both sides must maintain an open mind. Talk to each other with respect and as though they are your equal.

4. Act the Part
To be an effective teacher, you must do what you preach. If you can teach the part, you must act the part.

Why I Want to Work in Thailand

I always knew I was going to travel the world after graduation. Cultures around the world have always peaked my curiosity.

In the summer 2008, I travelled alone to Thailand. I loved it. I stayed in Chiang Mai for 2 months. My favorite parts of Thailand were the Muay Thai training, the food, and the people.

I have been teaching Muay Thai in Canada for 2 years, and have 3 years training and competition experience. Going to Thailand and training at one of the authentic gyms was an honorable and humbling experience.

Comparable to the training was Thai Cuisine. From big chain restaurants to hometown street stands, the food selection in Thailand is extensive and tasty.

In Chiang Mai, I resided at a guest house. The owner and local people took great care of me and we developed a very tight bond. They cooked for me, invited me to their social events, and gave me tours of the city. The Thai people all over the country were very welcoming and friendly.

I have travelled to many places including, Cuba, Dominican Republic, California, Las Vegas, Florida, British Columbia, New Brunswick, Quebec, and Prince Edward Island. When comparing the people, food, and scenery, Thailand is my favorite travel destination. It would be an absolute honor to work here.
