About Me - Michael

Hi everybody. I'm a teacher and supervisor at AUA Language Center in Bangkok. I spend most of my time in the office, but I love when I get to teach a class! I usually teach Special Courses, because part of my job is to manage them.

Before I came to Thailand, I lived and worked in New York City for about twenty years. Mostly, I worked as a city planner and in the music business. I was also a classical radio announcer for a few years, which was fun. I studied city planning in university, and played the french horn in college.

I like to spend my free time at home or with friends. Mostly, I really love to read and work in the garden. I also like to build things, like cabinets, and fix things around the house. Sometimes I cook, but I'm no expert! On weekends I like to get together with friends, go to restaurants or a movie, or just meet for a coffee. I spend an hour or so on the computer every day, usually reading the news, writing emails, or doing projects for work. Sometimes I go swimming at the Navy sports complex near Bitec. Soon I hope to buy a bicycle and explore my new neighborhood, Bang Na.
